Does anyone know who supplies BMW with oil filters?

Up until now I've always liked to use genuine oe filters, but I did an oil change on the e36 today and I am starting to think that £14 for a bit of folded paper and a couple of rubber o-rings is taking the mick a bit.
cheers,

Cheers, I will try and find an alternative supplier.

Wasn't long ago they were something like £7, the bosch spin on, non return valve equipped one I bought for the golf was less than £3 from ecp.

I have found that if you buy one from ECP, its a genuine BMW one anyway.

Thats post '95 M52/M52tu/M54 paper filters.
