micro filter

[s.mac]

is the micro filter the thing that sits in the tray in front of the windscreen :whistle:

my car is going in to Murketts tomorrow for some work doing, its not due a service but I am going to get an oil change done. In the service book it has a micro filter bit for ticking, if it is the bit I'm thinking I cant see the need to getting it changed until the inspection is due.

Sorry for the thick question but I don't want to look a fool asking at the service desk :clown:

Yes it is mate, IIRC. Think they're only £30 or something, and take about 25seconds to repair so be prepared to pay a million pounds for replacement! :whistle:

Ive just put it in my nav for tomorrow and its more like 3hrs :bigcry:

I'm working in London and normally get the train so I decided to drop it off on route and leave it with them.

There a couple of issues that need addressing and they seem to have a good name for themselves. I took it to my local dealers last year and they noted a couple of things but said they weren't bad enough to sort e.g leaking (but only a little) power steering pipe, immisions light was also on, they re set it, I left the dealers and it came straight back on :banghead: so not that impressed. Its a long way from Leeds, I will see if its worth it.

Link now works, my god that was easy! How much do BMW rape, sorry I mean charge to do that alone!? :bigcry: :banghead:

You do have a long drive, are Murkett's also a main dealer then mate? I'd be interested to see if they are that good and worth the trip as there are NO main dealers around my area that I would trust with the CSL

If I'm going to take out the warranty then this could be a problem as I only trust an Indy 45 mins up the road in Southampton!

It's piss easy to change - and personally I think the micro filter's a bit of a scam to get more money out of owners!! haha ... I've pulled mine out numerous times after long drives and it's always crystal clean - may be it's a NZ thing haha ...

Might be then! Have you watched the video posted above? There is a right load of crap stuck to the underside of that one they pull out of that M3! :bigcry:

Yep just watched the video - have a friend out here that lives out in the country and he's never pulled his one out - I pulled it out for him last month and it was still clean (after 2X,XXXkm). Heck his airfilter was way more filthy than the micro filter! Go figure.

In that video they could have simply slid the lid off rather than pry it up.

Could that be that's because the one coming it is optional "Carbon filter" as the guy in the vid calls it, so it filters out more shit?

Might be, maybe the guys been doing donuts on the grass and it's looks as though it's sucked a load of green stuff up! :hahaha:
