Microfilter - OEM or pattern?
As title really, a genuine carbon filter is about £40 + postage. Pattern parts are about £25.
Worth paying the extra for a real one?

Decent pattern - Mahle, Motaquip or Bosch will be absolutely fine.

Wow. Euro Car Parts to the rescue again!
£20ish for the carbon filter, £18 for the standard one. 25% off using the code on their front page, and free delivery too! £15 for a filter instead of £40+ from BMW. Excellent!

Now you can see how dealership workshops prop up the operation at a $tealer$hip. The money made can be mind-boggling.

I ordered this a few weeks ago - good OEM quality activated carbon filter. Delivered pretty quickly

Identical to the one I ordered from ECP - and a very suspiciously identical website too...
