Looking at the Fleabay options, dealer prices are pretty much identical.

I wouldn't cut corners in oil, filters etc.

It's like breathing polluted air.

The vortex (later style one) is about £26 from BMW, if you've got the earlier foam type, you may need the whole oil separator kit which is about £48 (which has new housing to go with it)

You can buy to seperate service pack kits from BMW now, one has oil and micro filter, the other has fuel and air filter. I can dig back through my paperwork and find you the part numbers if you need, as I had all this work done on a service this week.
