Oil filter choices
Hi,
I am wondering if I should be buying a WIX, Mann or Mahle oil filter for my 2015 650xi GC. Are there any differences between them? Thanks |

If you buy a BMW one at the dealer for a 650, it will be stamped Mahle. If you buy a Mahle elsewhere, it will be cheaper. But I agree, it does not matter unless you use a brand like Big Bubba's Filters.

Because typically the BMW filter will be twice the price for the exact thing - not the equivalent - the exact thing. Open the BMW box and it says Mahle inside. Now if you need to pay shipping that's a different story.

BMW and Mahle are identical. I think it's a given though that the original filter would be a good option.
