+1. I would always choose BMW OE parts if under warranty. I change my oil probably 3+ times a year, due to heavy miles, so I would save what? ~$15 over the course of a year? I could probably scrape that out of the couch cushions... On the otherhand, I don't think I'd find enough in the couch to cover a void warranty major repair.
Check with the dealer, seriously. If you have a CCA membership, I've found that the discount actually makes it less expensive to buy from the dealer than some other places.

About 1/2 price what the dealer charges, but they are not BMW parts. What would happen if it disintegrates or otherwise fails and causes engine damage? OOPS! There goes your warranty. Bottom line, not worth the risk. Maybe Bavarian Autosport: 11 42 7 512 300 Oil Filter - With Seal Rings for $7.95 would be a better choice.
you should start to sell them to HK.
In HK BMW 1s cost $14us

Autozone also has filters for BMW's. They are BMW mann filters made in Germany. Thay are boxed in a STP box. The number for 530 is STP 10075 (I'm guessing about the number. Too lazy to go to the garage and look).
