Best option, at least it's not an engine lottery. These NEO motors are close to 30 years old, they're doing ok. -

The best part is the aluminum replacements are also junk with a ton of casting flash threatening to break off. Only safe solution is toss and buy OEM new if in doubt, if the cage ever comes off BMW says to replace the whole part instead of putting it back together. Also only use the right oil filter wrench and only snug it down, never attempt to actually torque it once the cap is fully threaded into the housing. -

It’s amazing I could only find drips of information on it too. No one seemed to have it with the same low oil pressure warning I had - usually vanos codes. How long it had been like that for is anybody’s guess. Really dumb idea, especially considering how easily the cage detaches from the filter housing cap. -

I don't own one but at this point I've done more than my fair share of work on one. -

That crappy plastic cage is the difference between an engine that works and one that mysteriously has half the lifters fail, cam journals scored, and VANOS mechanically stuck faults because all the oil pressure leaked out of the stupid cam ledge bearings. Also, the difference between the right oil filter and the wrong one. I don't know why BMW is like this. Their engines are incredibly sensitive to the slightest thing being wrong.
