Heard of the notorious B58/B57 oil filter collapse? This is the permanent fix.
The factory paper oil filter used in BMW B58 and B57 3.0L six-cylinder engines is prone to structural failure during servicing. As the paper element deteriorates, the base can separate and remain lodged in the oil filter housing — often requiring costly extraction or complete housing replacement. The issue is so widespread it’s covered by an official BMW technical bulletin.
The MMX Lifetime Stainless Steel Oil Filter eliminates this failure point entirely. Replacing the fragile paper element with a high-flow, medical-grade stainless steel micronic filter, it provides superior protection, reliability, and long-term savings.
Engineered to filter contaminants down to 20 microns, the pleated stainless steel media delivers far better filtration than paper filters, while also offering up to five times the oil flow of standard OE elements. Consistent filtration is maintained across the entire surface area, ensuring optimal lubrication under all conditions.
Washable, reusable, and built to last the lifetime of the vehicle, this filter is a true fit-and-forget upgrade.
