Did I get the wrong filter? Also, how do you remove the filter from the cap to replace it?
BTW, I had to put the old filter back in.. 
Oh.. and the oil filter is a bear to remove.. where it's stuffed in the back! I did torque it back to 25nm, which was on the box of the new filter. You need a 27mm socket to remove the oil filter. |
That filter looks like part 11428570590 for a B38 engine or B46 engine used in Minis, you should have part 11428575211 for a B46 engine in an F22. If you go to realoem.com and input the last 7 digits of your VIN, you will be able to select parts that are specific to your car to confirm the part number.
