Hi, having a 330d, I saw that BMW only recommends changing it every 60,000km, surprising this difference with the 325.
Hello, personally I do it every 30,000 km even when using diesel at Total. Given the price of the filter and the simplicity of changing it, why deprive yourself?
very good tutorial, clear and precise, thank you!
Thank you, it's a pleasure :)
