F30 330d Engine Calved

Good to check the filter after the first couple of changes to check for any metal particles. I’d say it’s nice to have it back, happy motoring!

I'll be bringing it back to Conlans after 1000 miles for an oil change and general check up so will ask them to cut open the filter.

Agreed, not explicitly stated but I assumed that oil and filter would be changed together. I'm not sure I've ever changed oil without a filter change too.

I don't know why one would change oil and not the filter. Doesn't really make sense.

would you not consider sticking the bmw insured warranty on it now?

The new engine comes with a 2 year BMW warranty. I inquired about getting a warranty on it about a year ago and I was told that the car was too old and they wouldn't do it despite the mileage being very low.


On another note, I got the car back yesterday and she's driving like an absolute trooper. Feels much more lively now that all the carbon has been removed from ancillaries and the engine is brand new. Huge thanks to Jimmy in Conlans BMW Naas for looking after this for me and also for ensuring the car wasn't washed Very professional guy to deal with and I would highly recommend them.
