ENGINE PROTECTION: BOSCH Oil Filter Element (1457437003) – OE Quality for BMW Straight-Six Engines. 🇩🇪
GUARANTEE CLEAN OIL. PROTECT VANOS & BEARINGS. INSTALL THE PRECISION FILTER ELEMENT ESSENTIAL FOR BMW ENGINES.
This Oil Filter Element (or Cartridge) is a critical, high-volume filter used in the engine oil cooling systems of many classic BMW platforms, specifically the E36, E39, E46, and early E60 models equipped with the M52 and M54 straight-six (M54B22, M54B25, M54B30) gasoline engines.

WHY BOSCH 1457437003 IS YOUR MUST-BUY NOW
You are choosing the assurance of an OE-quality filter to protect your high-performance BMW engine from wear and premature failure.
Protects VANOS and Bearings: Modern engines operate on extremely tight tolerances. This BOSCH filter provides superior filtration efficiency, removing the minute metallic particles and carbon that can clog the delicate VANOS solenoids and accelerate main bearing wear.2
Guarantees Oil Flow: High-quality media ensures proper oil flow even in hot conditions, preventing the filter element from collapsing or clogging prematurely, which would force the oil to bypass the filter (allowing dirty oil into the engine).
Complete Oil Change Kit: The inclusion of new gaskets and seals is mandatory. This set ensures the filter housing cap seals properly, preventing leaks and maintaining oil pressure.3
Cost-Effective OE Alternative: BOSCH provides the exact performance and dimensional match required by BMW, offering a trustworthy replacement without the dealership price premium.
SERVICE YOUR BMW ENGINE CORRECTLY.
Oil filter replacement is mandatory with every oil change. Always use the specified grade of oil (e.g., 5W-40, 5W-30) and this high-quality filter.
