Anyone know the best place to buy an oil filter removal tool for a 2009
series 1 118D, seems BMW have taken off the nut that used to be on top of their oil filters so now
I need a special tool instead of my sockets

thanks :idea:

hi

posted this in the other thread aswell.

i havnt seen the 1 series oil filter but if its the same as a normal one then you can get a generic removal tool from somewhere like halfords, its just like a handle with a piece of chain on it

I didnt think it would be so difficult to find out the size of the oil filter cap, there must be someone on babybmw that has a series 1 and changes their oil. I wanted rather than a chain the cup type that works with a wrench, not even sure there is enough space to use a chain. Do others use chains on their 1 ers?

Well I wont give up yet but disappointed I couldnt get the information from this site as I thought it was an easy one given that some must be changing their own oils?

:?
