Febi-Bilstein -- Really
Purchased a new oil filter cap - Brand Febi-Bilstein Germany -- but made in China. Box has Febi-Bilstein Germany & Made in China
Part is different from OE in that the Cap dimensions are different. I will be returning to FCP Euro for OE because my oil filter cap wrench won't even fit - yes the wrench is a BMW Original part # 119240 I guess this would be another example as to why buy only OE or BMW Plastic Parts like VC & gaskets. (add this to the list) My 86mm wrench with 16 flats will NOT Fit on FEBI but fits with precision on the BMW OE Part. What CRAP Last edited by 123Britt; 11-27-2022 at 11:19 AM.. |

So I grew up with spin on filters that needed a band-style wrench, but it was generally universal for all of them.
That a filter cap intended for a wrench would not just use a regular standard socket size is bizarre, but really the whole concept of a "BMW OE oil filter cap wrench" blows my mind. |

FCP EURO - Thank You
To their Credit - FCP has already shipped out a NEW OE BMW Part.
