E64 oil filter holder life
OK checked ISTA WIS (Workshop Information System) and spoke with an ex neighbour who works for BMW ISTA first there is nothing to indicate the filter housing should be changed at intervals. There is a Note to say the filter should be inserted into the filter body then the housing screwed by hand into position. If the filter is inserted in the housing there is a danger it can be cross threaded and the housing damaged do not overtighten My ex neighbour says it was a common mistake putting the filter into the housing and tightening that is where they were cracked Dave -

E64 oil filter holder life
HI, havnig been very nearly caught out due to a failure of the holder - holder cracked but only on start up. I am trying to educate myself on when they should be changed. Is this a once a year or once every 3 years or once each 10000 miles etc. Is there a recommendation? -

Water Leaking Into Rear Footwell
ah, obviously the foot spa optional extra wasn't installed correctly. Did you find the cause? Water is a sod, I had a slight leak into my wheel well (about an egg cup full). Tried it out and kept an eye on it, it never has so far come back and I never did find the cause. My current working theroy is that it may have been when BMW wet vacced the carpet before sale. I know it sound rather rudimentary but you could try taping paper towel around the footwell above the waterline, that would at least give you an idea of where it's coming from if it's coming from the sides. If its holding that much water then I would'nt have thought it would be leaking from underneath as surely it would drain away. Is the carpet in the front dry? Door seal on correctly? My old golf, I had slightly moved the door seal and it was suprising how much water did get through. Do you have any drain holes somewhere near the boot hinge?
