hello all

ive got a 57 330d e93. going to do full service

Yes everyone says Mann are OEM BLABLA but what about mahle. when you pull off your current one, what do you see? are they Mann or Mahle or someone else

Yes i know theyve probably been changed after so could be something else but if anyone knows the actual brand that they use.

it will be really helpful!

thanks

Pull it off and see. BMW use whatever company they have a contract with at that time. Just use a good brand and you'll be fine.

before i start i want to have all the stuff here so i can swap them.

hmm thats good to know. question is i used Mann oil filter for my 320d last year. didnt go back into the oil filter cap properly as it was missing a clip inside so wasnt happy!

whos the best to use? Mahle or Mann filters?

Mahle, Mann and Hengst are 3 top OEM manufacturers for oil filters and such. Any of those 3 will be just fine, I think I've used all 3 on my car in the last 12 months.

I went with Mahle for the lot with no issues. The ex BMW badged air filter even had the Mahle part code on it as well.

My fuel filter has bmw and Mann on it

I always buy genuine BMW parts but the oil and fuel filter I put on were Mann filters in a BMW box
