What makes this BMW B58 lifetime oil filter different from a standard paper filter?

The factory paper oil filter on the B58 is a single-use element that can disintegrate or collapse under oil pressure during its service life. The BMW B58 lifetime oil filter replaces it with medical-grade stainless steel micronic cloth that filters down to 20 microns, delivers 5x the flow of paper, and is cleaned and reused rather than discarded at every oil change.

How do I clean and reuse this filter?

The stainless steel micronic cloth element is removed at each oil service and cleaned to remove trapped debris before reinstallation. Because the material does not degrade the way paper does, the BMW B58 lifetime oil filter is designed to be cleaned and reused for the life of the vehicle rather than replaced.

Does this filter work with the factory housing, or do I need the MMX billet cap too?

The BMW B58 lifetime oil filter works with the factory filter housing as supplied. The MMX Billet Oil Filter Housing Cap is a separate upgrade that replaces the OEM plastic cap, which is compatible with this filter but not required for it to function correctly.

Why does 20-micron filtration matter for the B58?

Filtering down to 20 microns captures fine particulate that a coarser filter would allow to recirculate through the oil system, where it can accelerate wear on the bearings, VANOS solenoids, and other oil-fed components. The BMW B58 lifetime oil filter maintains that filtration level across its entire surface, rather than only at a localized point, for consistent protection throughout the service interval.

Can I buy this filter on its own, or only as part of the kit?

This filter is available individually. It is also one of three components in the MMX Lifetime Oil-Change Service Kit, which bundles the filter with the billet housing cap and a magnetic sump drain plug for buyers upgrading the complete oil service system in one purchase.

Description

MMX Stainless Steel Oil Filter for BMW Vehicles with B58 Engine

BMW B58 lifetime oil filter from MMX Performance is a reusable stainless steel upgrade engineered to permanently solve the failure issues associated with the factory paper-element filter. Constructed from pleated medical-grade stainless steel micronic cloth, the BMW B58 lifetime oil filter filters down to 20 microns while delivering five times the flow capacity of conventional paper filters. Hence, filtration improves, and flow restriction drops at the same time rather than trading one for the other. The robust stainless construction eliminates the risk of filter disintegration during service, a known paper-filter failure mode that can shed material into the housing or, worse, send debris circulating through the engine’s lubrication system. By maintaining consistent filtration across the entire surface and resisting collapse under oil pressure, the filter protects the bearings, VANOS, and other oil-fed components from the contamination risk posed by a failed paper filter. Reusable and engineered to last the life of the vehicle with proper cleaning, this is the ultimate solution for B58 owners who want reliability and peace of mind at every oil change rather than a recurring filter purchase.

Additional Information

The Bulletproof Automotive website contains many thousands of products purchased in multiple different currencies. All of the prices are entered manually and accurately at the time of entry. Due to the consistently fluctuating international exchange rates, at times prices may not be able to be honored at their original intended rate. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, unfortunately our website is unable to compensate dynamically for what can at times be volatile changes in the cost of items due to currency values fluctuating, changes in prices from suppliers, changes in shipping and import duties, and other factors. Rest assured that any order you place on line will be at zero risk to you in this area. If in the event your order cannot be fulfilled at the original intended website price we will offer you a 100% refund, no questions asked. We will continue to do our best to maintain updated prices and we will always continue to offer our price match guarantees as well to ensure our prices are always the best for you. In short, prices may change without notice. It is always advised to give us a call prior to placing your order online to confirm availability and to confirm current pricing.

Shipping Policy

Items that are in stock in the US, either at Bulletproof’s warehouse or at a supplier’s warehouse, are generally delivered within 7-10 days. Special order items from overseas take considerably longer. As a courtesy Bulletproof offers delivery estimates to our customers which take into consideration manufacturer availability and shipping schedule. These estimates represent our best guess based on previous orders from the manufacturer and do not in any way imply a guaranteed delivery window. Many manufacturers work in a “just in time” inventory system and often take 2-20+ weeks to produce an item once an order is submitted. All deliverable items are then sent to our Japanese warehouse. Bulletproof ships a minimum of one full ocean freight container every month from Japan, oftentimes more than one a month. Ocean freight takes an average of 4 weeks. Typically it breaks down to one week in Japan for paperwork and customs, two weeks by boat and one week in US customs/clearance. Due to the wide number of variables between manufacturer and shipping schedules, delivery estimates are simply just that – estimates. We attempt to estimate conservatively and we usually deliver faster than our estimates suggest. It is not Bulletproof’s policy to guarantee delivery time of any special order item, this is impossible for us to do. By ordering you acknowledge that there is no required delivery ETA and an order may not be canceled or altered due to manufacturing or shipping delays, all ETA’s are provided as a best guess only. Please review the full Terms & Conditions here.

BP Pricing Difference

We do pricing a little differently on our JDM brands and we believe in making things simple and clear. No hidden fees or surcharges. Every price you see includes the shipping cost to our office in Los Angeles, California and all the associated taxes/duties/fees for bringing the products into the US. The only shipping you ever pay is from our facility in the US to your location. Be wary of resellers that don’t include the cost of international shipping in their pricing on JDM parts. While we believe we’ll always have the lowest all-in price on JDM products, we offer a price match guarantee for all authentic parts purchased from authorized dealers as well. For many international customers, it’s much more affordable to ship from the USA than from Japan directly, as the air freight and ocean freight costs are typically much less. However, for customers looking to ship directly from Japan outside of North America, or domestically in Japan, we can provide pricing specifically for that scenario. Please do not hesitate to contact us with any pricing questions or concerns. Please email us at sales@bulletproofautomotive.com with any inquiries.
