The dealership I bought the 328 at apparently did. Good thing I got a new one, the proper Mann filter as well.

That’s just nasty.gif

I got the full oil change kit from ECS, along with a fliter  cap tool and magnetic drain plug. Yeah yeah I know BMW oil is just Castrol that they charge abit more for, but the whole kit was only 85 bucks, plus 15 for the filter cap tool.

Also I found out my car has a some what legit steel skid plate. So it’s basically a rally car.

More like “Dealerships use the cheapest oil and filter especially on used cars because they’re under so much pressure to be cheaper than everyone else in the tri-state are not only on oil change prices but on used car prices because the internet and shit”

Due to space limitations after installing a sandwich plate I was forced to use a K&N oil filter for two recent oil changes. Twas miserable. Lifter tick came on a good 1500 miles sooner than normal, which basically cut the life of the filter in half. Back to WIX

The main reason isn’t this car take a shit load of oil. 7 liters/7.4qts. I’m very accustomed to sub 2.0l engines that need 4qts or less. And have 8 dollar  filters.

Lol, silly little German engine, only 7 quarts? Try 12 liters, zee audi Germans like to use a bunch of oil in their engines. Eh, it’s not so bad though, the new 0w40 Mobil 1 meets the VAG oil spec, so I can now get a sub $100 oil change. Used to be $120-$150 through the ECS kits.

Still no big deal, oil changes are the cheapest thing to keep the ol girl running strong.
