This performance-oriented oil filter cover replaces the factory-style oil filter housing cap while providing dedicated connections for an external engine oil cooler and optional oil monitoring sensors. Featuring a CNC-machined aluminum alloy body, an anodized finish, dual AN10 oil cooler connections, and two 1\/8-inch NPT sensor ports, the adapter offers a practical solution for BMW owners looking to add external engine oil cooling without replacing the complete factory oil filter housing.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eBMW M52 and M54 engines use a cartridge-style oil filtration system with a removable cap mounted to the engine's oil filter housing. The original cap seals the filter assembly and maintains the intended oil flow path through the filtration system.
