BMW’s B58 and B57 3.0L six-cylinder engines (petrol and diesel) are affected by a well-documented issue with the factory paper oil filter. During servicing, the lower section of the OE filter can separate from the filter media, leaving debris lodged inside the oil filter housing. In many cases, this results in costly extraction or full housing replacement - an issue serious enough to warrant an official BMW technical bulletin.

The MMR Performance Stainless Steel Oil Filter permanently solves this problem. This BMW stainless steel oil filter replaces the fragile paper element with a pleated, high-flow stainless steel micronic filter mesh, filtering contaminants down to 20 microns - significantly finer and more consistent than traditional paper filters.

Designed specifically as a B58 oil filter / B58 engine oil filter, the stainless steel construction delivers up to five times the oil flow of comparable paper filters while maintaining uniform filtration across the entire surface area. This ensures improved lubrication, stable oil pressure, and superior engine protection under all driving conditions.

Beyond the inconvenience and cost of housing damage, failed paper filters have been known to release fragments into the engine’s oilways, potentially restricting oil flow to critical components such as bearings and the VANOS system. The MMR stainless steel design eliminates this risk entirely.

This is a reusable oil filter engineered to last the lifetime of the vehicle when properly maintained. At each oil change, the filter must be thoroughly cleaned using a suitable solvent and compressed air (cleaned from the inside out) to ensure no debris remains. If proper cleaning cannot be guaranteed, replacing the filter at each service is recommended as best practice.

Compatible with the factory oil filter housing or the MMR Billet Filter Housing (MMR17-1501).
