Re: Oil Filter

[John Van Deren <r11rider@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I just purchased some Bosch filters from eBay:  
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/BMW-R-Oilhead-K-BOSCH-OIL-FILTERS-x-6-pc_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ35617QQitemZ4649596020QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

They ended up being about $7.50 each for six.  He seems to always have 
them for sale.  What do you think?
