Hi

I'm going to change the Oil filter on my 2003 model to see if I can stop the low pressure warring on Idle, reading some have a spring in them how do I know if my one should have one if its missing and do BMW supply them?

Thanks is advance

Martyn

Can anyone help?

I believe the spring is part of the Oil Filter Cover, so I don't think you can buy it separately.
