Well I'm visiting my girlfriend in Va and need an oil change before I leave on Thursday. Got my oil, but completly forgot about the filter. :banghead: Is there any places locally that I can pick one up. I googled and the closest place was Roanoke I think.


Any where in Blacksburg or very close I can go?

Thanks guys.


Ps: spotted a black 3 series M3 front bumper and I believe ASA rims off a side street down town anyone?

theres a place called the Bug Shop on harding street. They're a VW shop but they did my oil once or twice. I would imagine that they can get a filter for you. They prob would even do the oil real quick I don't think I ever paid very much and that was with them getting the oil and the filter.

If you don't know where harding street is you can pick it up right behind the restaurant called The Nerve in downtown blacksburg or if you go all the way towards the end of Patrick Henry Rd. just keep driving down harding street it will seem like you are going out into the middle of nowhere, the shop will be on your left.

bimmerworld is down there, you could try them too, the advance autos dont have any?

Yeah Bimmerworld is in roanoake, or try any advance auto, they have always had the purolator filter for my m52.

What kind of filter is that? I ususly go to the dealer and just pick up an OEM one.

Thanks for the help guys.

It's an aftermarket company, I've been using them in my car for about 18 months and no issues so far. Just don't get the FRAM filters.

Like I said I've had no problems with the Purolator brand, but I've never been able to find a FRAM brand filter that fits my car. The one they claim that fits, does not.

oh, well i am pretty sure i got a Purolator filter at my local store. sorry if i misread your posts.
