Oil Filter PN Question
So I was going to buy a filter for my '17 M2 to do an oil change, and I noticed that the PN was different than for my '11 335, which sort of caught me off guard. I guess I had expected them to be the same.
'11 335: 11427566327 '17 M2: 11427854445 Even more interesting is that the filter shows to be the same for the F80 M3 and the F82/F83 M4 as it is for the F87. Checking my receipt from break-in service, this is the correct filter number. Just thought it was interesting. |

There’s a post on the forum about it. Visually they look the same. But no idea if any different. I went with the M part # as it’s only a few $ more expensive. Better to be safe than sorry... plus what if dealer sees that a non M oil filter was out in and you have engine concerns ?

I would guess that the M-specific part has its bypass valve set to a different pressure, potentially lower. Idea being that you'd rather contaminate the engine with some grit than completely oil-starve it...

Number of pleats the same? Maybe higher temperature glue in use? I just find it very hard to believe they'd go to the trouble of making two different part numbers solely to overcharge ///M owners.

Not sure if I like the newer system better or not? A decent amount of old oil is left sitting there in the housing when you pull out the used element. I usually just soak it up with a couple disposable blue shop rags. Plus you need to be careful not making a mess when getting rid of it. The older system was inverted 180 degrees with a metal outer canister and was a bit harder to deal with initially, but the residual old oil was collected in the canister and easier to dispose of. |

No idea if the pleats are different. I guess there’s one way to test by weighing it. Someone want to send me a new filter ? :P. I have some super accurate scales.
That said the only notable difference I saw was that it’s made in Germany and has the ///M logo compared to a Mann OEM replacement |
