The BimmerWorld View: Replace your oil filter housing gaskets right away! It's believed that some of the gaskets used on the early B46 engines were made of a material that was not as oil-friendly as it needed to be, which could lead to gaskets puffing and deforming, which can even lead to putting enough pressure on parts of the filter housing to break the plastic retaining the gasket into position. If this happens, you will need to replace the entire oil filter housing, rather than just the gaskets. It is possible to catch this early and avoid this additional cost and headache. You might also consider replacing the housing as a preventative nature, as the housing also includes new/updated gaskets.
