Stainless steel filtration is not a new technology but is quickly gaining popularity in the automotive segment. With the ability to filter down as small as a paper filter element with the ability to be washed and reused!

The K&P Engineering filter element is made from medical grade, type 304 stainless steel micronic filter cloth to provide unmatched protection against oil contamination and resultant engine damage. A one inch square of this material flows an incredible 1.9 gallons of oil per minute at only 1 PSI pump pressure. The adhesive used in the filter assembly process is good to 600 degrees Fahrenheit, far above normal engine operating temperatures. A super strength nickel-plated neodymium rare earth magnet is installed in the top of the element for magnetic pre-filtering of the oil. The sophisticated bypass is engineered for proper differential pressures and consistent operation, delivering a greater percentage of filtered oil while being very easy to clean. The twist lock design assures positive filter element placement and allows for easy disassembly, inspection, and cleaning. The quad-ring gasket doubles the seal between the filter and the engine. Finally, the filter housing is carved out of solid 6061T6 billet aluminum, which not only looks trick but aids in dissipating heat.

K&P Engineering manufactures stainless steel filters for a vast array of engines around the world. Staying at the forefront of design and testing allows this company to offer a top-tier product for your European vehicle.

Features:

  • Consistent filtering across entire filter surface
  • Superior ASTMF316 filtration performance
  • 7 times the flow of comparable paper oil filters
  • Magnetic Prefiltering
  • Progressive rate bypass combined with high flow characteristics of the filter media avoids unfiltered oil bypassing the filter during cold startup and high rpm
  • No more cutting apart messy paper filters for trapped debris inspection
  • Proven in Motorsports, Military and Aerospace applications for years. Technology is FAA approved for use in aircraft. 

At regular oil changes, clean to K&P's specifications for continued used - a true lifetime filter.

This part features two 1/8-27 NPT holes that can be used to incorporate oil temperature and oil pressure sensors. Port plugs are included to block off the ports if they are not being used.

Machined with care in-house at VAC Motorsports for perfect fitment, these lids are a perfect replacement for enthusiasts looking to seamlessly integrate oil temperature and pressure sensors without tapping into their oil pan.

This pump features two important upgrades: This pump is engineered with VAC's famous Oil Pump Upgrade kit integrated in its design; this means a stronger gear drive mechanism for much lower likelihood of pump failures on the track. VAC has not only improved the physical reliability of the pump itself but also fit a custom gear with a larger sweep area to the pump mechanism, increasing volume by a welcome 22% An excellent upgrade for Road Race, Autocross, Time Attack, Drift, Hill Climb, Rally, Drag Race, Roll Race & forced induction applications. Lubrication issues are a common killer of BMW engines. The dual-pickup pump is much better than a standard single pickup, but this pump is a dramatic improvement over both.

This is the replacement OEM oil filter kit for the S54 engine, as used in the E46 M3, Z4 M Roadster and M Coupe, as well as the 2001-2002 MZ3 M Roadster/Coupe (with S54 engine). This is the complete oil filter kit - filter, large o-ring for filter housing cover, small o-ring for bolt seal, flat washer for bolt, and copper seal ring for the drain bolt. It's everything you would need to complete an oil change - minus the Castrol 10W60 oil of course, which we sell at a great price. This kit is manufactured by Mahle - the original supplier to BMW for the 11427833769 BMW filter (factory filters come with the Mahle part number OX 187 printed on the cap).

Why Mahle over Mann? In the past we have sold a few different oil filters for the E46 M3 and S54 engines. But Mahle is the true OEM supplier for this part number. It fits perfectly and is the exact replacement part at nearly the same price as the slightly different Mann filter (and less than the factory BMW filter). For more detail, click here.

This filter fits the following BMWs:
2001-2006 E46 M3
2001-2002 MZ3 - M Roadster & M Coupe (S54)
2006-2008 MZ4 - M Roadster & M Coupe
