Picked up this FE10075 FRAM Synthetic Endurance today for $13 (without looking inside the box) today at Walmart, along with some Quaker State 5w40 Euro.
Is it just me or does the filter media area on this look very weak compared to pretty much every other aftermarket cartridge filter for BMW engines? Spec is 99% @>20u, but I suspect that the capacity of this filter might not live up to the generous 25k mile claim.
For sake of comparison, here is a FRAM Extra Guard and a MANN filter for the same car, which come in at only $7 on RockAuto and look about the same as every other filter for this car.
