Got the Hi-flo HF164 oil filter from MSG Bike Gear today for £8.00, that's near enough half price for me.David. wrote:The BMW branded oil filter is £15.76, both the Mahle OC306 & Hi-FLo HF164 alternatives can be purchased for around half this price.

It gets even better, found a new supplier, got a HF164 oil filter for £4.51, that's over 70% cheaper than the BMW one.David. wrote:Got the Hi-flo HF164 oil filter from MSG Bike Gear today for £8.00, that's near enough half price for me.
