INEOS OIL FILTER PART NUMBERS AND REVIEW - B57 & B58 MOTOR

My Ineos Grenadier Diesel was delivered as standard with a BMW oil filter No. 7826800-01 - Made in Tunisia. This filter also has the number UFI - 25.252.00 (Universal Filter Italiana S.p.A.). printed on the housing . I
When you purchase the above BMW filter, it comes in a BMW box with the number 1142 7 826 799.
I also now bought an UFI filter with the number 25.252.00 but without BMW imprint. This filter is also made in Tunisia.
