MMX Performance BMW S58 Stainless Steel Oil Filter
$81.85
6 IN STOCK
The MMX Performance BMW S58 Stainless Steel Oil Filter is a reusable, cleanable replacement for the disposable paper element fitted to BMW's S58 engine. Rather than a consumable discarded at every service, it is a single filter designed to remain with the vehicle.
The filtration medium is a pleated stainless steel micronic mesh. MMX specifies it as a medical-grade material rated to filter oil contamination down to 20 microns. The pleats are supported by a stainless outer cage, and the element is finished with a black anodized billet end cap.
Flow rate is the second point of difference. MMX rates the stainless element at over five times the flow of the paper element it replaces.
Servicing is a clean-and-refit operation. At each oil change the element is removed, flushed with a suitable solvent and cleared with compressed air before being refitted. Owners who prefer a conventional service routine can replace the element at each interval instead.
The filter is a full OE replacement and requires no modification to fit. It seats in the factory S58 oil filter housing, and is equally compatible with the MMX billet oil filter housing cap (MMR17-1601).

What is the filtration rating of the stainless media?
The filter uses a medical-grade stainless steel micronic media rated to filter oil contamination down to 20 microns.
How does the flow rate compare to the factory paper element?
MMX rates the stainless element at over five times the flow of the paper element it replaces.
How is the filter serviced?
The element is cleaned at each oil service rather than discarded. Remove the filter, flush it with a suitable solvent and clear the pleats with compressed air before refitting.
Can the filter be replaced rather than cleaned?
Yes. The element is designed to be reusable for the lifetime of the vehicle, but replacing it at each service interval is a valid alternative.
Does installation require modification to the factory housing?
No. The filter is a full OE replacement and seats directly in the factory S58 oil filter housing.
Is the filter compatible with the MMX billet oil filter housing cap?
Yes. The element is compatible with both the factory housing and the MMX billet oil filter housing cap, MMR17-1601.
