Anyone know a reputable shop / brand I can buy my cabin filter or any filter I'll need for the Mini. I want to start comparison shopping for maintenance parts for my car. The dealer advised the Cabin Filter needs changing but it cost 50 bucks for just the part. I'm sure for a fibrous material that's quite expensive. I see on Ebay some Mann OEM filters are going for 23-30 dollars. Being a little weary that they may be fake. Any feedback will help. Thanks in advance.

 

You can buy them from many places, ECS, OutMotoring, Way, Minimania and pricing is $25-$35 for a Mann or OEM on sale. You only need to replace every 25k or more if your a smoker.

 

Thanks ke3ee. Thanks a million. Will definitely look at those sites.

 

ke3ee - Thanks for the mention. Any new watches?

JugoGoya - Think you are talking about your 2012 Countryman S, unless you own multiple MINIs?



Here are the cabin filters:

Thanks and hope that helps.

 

Holy cow ECSTuning. Yea I went to your site but it only went up to 2011. You rock! After my cars come back from the shop on Saturday I'll buy whatever I need in one shot. I was talking about the countryman as that one is out of warranty on maintenance. My other mini has the extended maintenance so I'm good for now on that one. Thanks again. Jessh. That was easy!

 

You are welcome again. Most of the maintenance stuff is the same on 2011 MINI Countryman S. We hope to have our site updated soon with newer models. If you need anything you can always PM me or post on the forums. In fact, if you have a MINI / BMW part number ( 11 digit number sequence ) and you know it fits your MINI you can dump it into site from the beginning and hit search. It will find it.

Thanks

 

There ya go, everything you need.

ECS, steady at 12 Mini watches, Bought a new Tissot that was a bit expensive so that's enough for now. Also got new tires for my ALL4 last week. I'm saving for a Belly pan.

 

Ke3ee - sounds good. Watches can get pricey, we all know that.

 

I want to start comparison shopping for maintenance parts for my car.


check MOSS

about $20 right now ... they have 'em on a special.

and you can find them on E-Bay too

for a cabin air filter you can be 'cheap' and use a knock off - what happens if a cabin filter goes bad? Smells? Pollen?

for the oil filter I HIGHLY recommend you stick with OE or MANN . . . I've used OE exclusively since buying my first in MINI 02 and since then doing my own maint' and for others.... I've put on MANN filters that owners have brought to me for their own cars with no problems.

When buying filters, if you must go to a web source, order several items at a time to consolidate shipping charges . . .
******

when you get there

never ever ever ever buy OE brake pads ..... horrible horrible things

Buy EBC Red and say good bye to brake dust while enjoying great performance.

 

Sorry I didn't get to post all the links right away, been working on MINI's today.
But we do have all the filters and maintenance items you need, and we always combine shipping to actual shipping charges to make it as cheap as possible for you.

You guys are truly gentlemen! Thanks for all the help. My minis will be covered now! Thanks again.

 

Another good source is rockauto.com...typically very competitive prices.

 

Another watch collector? I collect vintage (20's thru 70's) watches but i have a couple of new ones including a Tissot Le Locle.

ps...didn't mean to hijack the thread so keep calm & carry on!
