1999 - 2005 (E46) (1999 - 2005) Starting in 1999 the E46 3 Series picked up where the E36 left off. Larger, with smoother lines, and with more advanced engines than its predecessor, the E46 easily held the title of "Best Car of the Year" throughout its life.

2006 325Ci - Oil Filter Issue...

Ok so i was not able to find anywhere what the oil filter part number is for a 2006 325Ci SULEV M56 motor...i figured it would be the same as a M54 motor, but no such luck...so if anyone knows what filter i need to buy, please let me know...

Thanks...

yea sorry, been busy, but yea that works, thanks i appreciate the help...now my only question is, is can i order it from my local automotive parts store (kragen, autozone, pepboys, etc) or do i have to either order it online or through BMW?

the only problem is, is that part number crosses with the FRAM CH8081 oil filter, and that filter does not fit...

Do not put a FRAM in your car....FFS. Mann or nothing.
Hey what is your production month? It can be found on the driver side door jam.

well it is still an E46, they still made the E46 coupe in 06, but it was only availble as either an E46 325Ci or E46 330Ci...

11427512300 $12.25

Should be same as m54. M56 did not have modified oil system, just fuel. It's the same part. Go to dealer or order Mann filters. I see autozone filters fail all the time. The fiber rips and all of a sudden you have a huge hole in the filter and it stops filtering.

Yup....got it. I was going down the wrong path...sorry...slvr is correct.

This is the correct drawing for your car, and slvr's part number is true.....



Based on the part number provided by slvr....you can get Mann oil filters at

http://www.ecstuning.com/Search/11427512300/ES7028/

For $4.86.......quite a savings....check it out

Or several different options at this link http://www.pelicanparts.com/cgi-bin/...FILTER_BMWM=ON

Yea I agree with Dane's suggestion to purchase the pack of filters. The cheapest I can get the filters from the dealer (with discount) is $7 or $8.
