Apt aftermarket filters for BMW?

[DRCraig]

Good morning fellow fanatics

My car is due for a service next week- 2012 320d E90 LCI.
I booked her at SMG Century City for an oil service, coolant flush and diesel fuel filter.
The air filter and microfilter I'm doing myself, however, I cannot seem to source MANN filters anywhere (according to various forums, MANN filters triumph).
Goldwagen currently only stocks Blueprint filters. Are they of good quality? What are alternative reputable filter brands for BMW?

Thanks in advance.

Hi

Try Imcomex. I've been using the Blueprint air filter for about 50 000km now with no issues but change it at every 7500km. For the microfilter GW always gives me a brand called coolxpert I think.

I used to get the GUD/MANN filters from Imcomex when I had my 320d, not sure if that has changed since.

Is Incomex situated in the Western Cape as well?

Changing the air filter every 7500km seems like quite some effort, seeing that it should give you at least 30 000km. That surely speaks volumes of the quality of Blueprint, doesn't it?

I only know of the one in Centurion.

I did compare it to an OEM filter (used) when I first changed it. Didn't notice any difference. At 7500km the filter looks like it can still be used for another 15000km or more but I have a routine that I follow.

Every 7500km
Oil service
Air filter ( clean the MAF sensor)

Every 15000km
The above plus
Fuel filter
Cabin microfilter

Agreed.

Although I did the above services at 10000km and 20000km intervals respectively.
