It is over-engineered in customary MMX fashion, giving a solid, precise feel at every service and removing a failure point that can end an engine.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy The Factory Housing Fails\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBMW moulds the S58 oil filter housing in plastic, and plastic in a hot, pressurised, repeatedly disturbed location has a finite life. The threads distort with each service, the material becomes brittle with heat cycling, and the housing eventually cracks. Because the crack releases pressurised oil, the consequences range from an expensive clean-up to a catastrophic loss of oil pressure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eA Permanent Replacement\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMachined from solid aluminium, the MMX housing simply does not fail in the same way. The threads stay true through repeated services, the material is unaffected by heat cycling, and the sealing faces remain flat. It is a direct replacement for the factory item and requires no modification to install.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eBetter To Work On\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAnyone who has serviced an S58 knows the plastic housing has to be handled carefully and torqued conservatively. A billet housing removes that anxiety entirely, and the machined grip makes servicing quicker. For a car being tracked or kept long-term, it is one of the more sensible upgrades available.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMachined from solid billet aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect replacement for the fragile factory plastic housing\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEliminates a known cracking and oil leak failure point\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThreads and sealing faces stay true through repeated services\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eApplicable to all BMW S58 engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo modification required to install\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePart Number:\u003c\/strong\u003e MMR17-1601\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Billet aluminium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEngine:\u003c\/strong\u003e BMW S58\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInstallation:\u003c\/strong\u003e Direct OE replacement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW G80 M3 and G81 M3 Touring\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW G82 M4 and G83 M4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW G87 M2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMW F97 X3M and F98 X4M\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAll BMW S58 engines\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003chr\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this include an oil filter?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. The housing is supplied on its own.
