After searching the web for the right size of oil filter wrench , meassuring the cap at 86mm x 16 flutes , I bought 2 so called wrenches in a row that were supposed to fit the 318i N42......(Sealey & Lazer makes) ...they don't fit and were sent back.
Looking at others there was one 87mm x 16 flutes ....and another at 88mm x 16 flutes, all stating that they will fit BMW.....So what is the right size ? (86mm/87mm/88mm).
In the end I bought an (ITC make 88mm x 16 flutes @ £7-00) note!....the costs of this filter wrench which came from Ebay was 1/3 of the cost of a proper BMW one, and though it does not state it fits a BMW 318i ....it does....true it slips on loose , but you can make up the gap if you need too with some masking tape ....I did not need to do this, but if your flutes are slightly worn then you might need to add some tape.
