Which Oil Filter to Get?

General Discussion

Hi just looking for a super quick reco on an oil filter. I have a 2002 E46 BMW 330Ci. The local oil change shop uses Service Champ filters and in the past I’ve used this Mann filter. I’ve heard BMW filters are just Mann filters with a BMW stamp on them. But anyways should I get one or the other or does it even matter? Thanks.

I’d pay extra to have a local mechanic do the oil change, not an ‘Iffy Lube” kind of place, and I’d use the equivalent of of the factory filter.

Mann all the way. I use nothing else in my Audi.

Nothing but MANN in a BMW (most any Euro), I have tried a lot of different brands and MANN is the only one that fit right every time in every BMW or Benz that I ever delt with on customer vehicles… BMW dealer parts is a given, but like said, I think MANN is the OEM filter manufacture anyway…
