Oil filter disection
- Thread starter MattW
- Start date
Not just me then
last service paid £11.92 for oil filter
last service paid £11.92 for oil filter
So it looks like main dealers aren't cheaper for filters then....
Interesting thread.
In April I paid £14.01 for said filter over the counter at Vines!!!
That could be the last time.

I've thrown the boxes away now, but I'm fairly sure that's what Motorworks supplies both for oil and air filters.
Noooo - it cant be so!
am i in the right place?
An interesting thread with oil in it?!
Thank you for your dissertation and dissection.

Too late
I don't suppose you have the corresponding numbers for the 1200?
I asked my local motor factors this morning if he had Mahle filters. The response was "No, but I have Knecht. They're German too. Wouldn't be surprised if they come out of the same hole in the ground".
so now I can check out his prices and see if that works.
champion filter <€5 yes Euro.
BMW dealer €20, and that's probably before VAT at 21%.
Yes, I know Motorworks is WAY cheaper, but the postage is about £14 to Ireland so you need to be buying quite a bit to make it worthwhile. Better to source locally from a Factors if possible.
Thanks for the info.

Ah, got it! I take it Champion may have been dissed on a forum somewhere.
Can't say it has previously worried me but i do have a genuine "Hazet" filter remover. It is tuned to high "E".
Talking about price, during my 18 months as a salesman at a dealer I used to sit approx 20 metres from the parts guy. By the end I used to pick up the phone and order from M/Works 'cos I could get bits cheaper from them!!! Oh, and often things arrived quicker...

Mahle and Knecht are the same company. Look at this link for 1200 info

You do get all the neccessary washers needed with the BMW filter.

If the above link does not work try this one
http://217.6.60.45/mahle/start.jsp?folder=mahleFilter&sessionClear=true&sprache=en_GB
and click on the vehicle tab.
As far as washers are concerned I know that the 1150 filters I ordered had two options one with the washers and one without.

for those or you that prefer an alternative to oem, MANN filters are regarded as top notch filters and are available at a reasonable price, "central auto supplies" have shops all over that keep the whole range in stock, oil/air/fuel.
