Purpose and Function in the Lubrication System

The oil filter housing cover in BMW E87, E90, F20, and F30 models is responsible for securely enclosing the filter insert and ensuring proper oil flow within the circuit. This component:

• stabilizes the filter insert within the housing,
• ensures proper sealing of the lubrication system,
• reduces the risk of oil pressure drops caused by leaks,
• facilitates periodic filter replacement during servicing.

For BMW gasoline engines, a correctly selected oil filter housing is crucial for maintaining proper oil pressure and cleanliness, which directly impacts the engine's durability.

Compatibility and Interchangeable Numbers

The presented housing is designed as an original BMW part, with an assigned OEM number and a set of interchangeable numbers. This allows for precise fitting to specific gasoline engine versions within the E87, E90, F20, and F30 platforms, without requiring modifications to the lubrication system.

The presence of reference numbers allows for easy verification against manufacturer catalogs and service software, minimizing the risk of selecting the wrong part and speeding up the repair or maintenance process.

Performance Characteristics and Installation

The oil filter housing cover in this series has been developed for operation under conditions typical for BMW gasoline engines, where variable temperatures and pressure loads occur. The component's design ensures:

• stable mounting in the filter housing seat,
• adequate resistance to operating oil temperatures,
• the possibility of multiple disassemblies and reassemblies during service intervals.

With the correct selection of seals and adherence to service procedures, installation of the housing is straightforward for an experienced mechanic and does not require additional modifications. This solution helps maintain the integrity of the original lubrication system design in BMW vehicles.

Part Condition and Benefits of Choosing a Used Part

The offered oil filter housing is a used part, sourced from vehicle disassembly. In practice, this means the part retains its original BMW specifications while offering an economical alternative to a new component. For many users and workshops, this represents a sensible compromise between repair cost and maintaining factory-quality workmanship.
