Did anyone order the $3.99 oil filters?

I saw a place online for OEM oil filters saying no shipping, and $3.99. Was wondering if anyone saw that too and got them? I wasn't sure what dealer it was and I don't have the link handy, have to look at the history of my browser on the other pc.....at that price I'd prbably take 2 or 3! haha

It's the best price I've ever seen, and if I can help people save money, I'd do it anytime.

I visited that dealership a long time ago, was looking for a ZX but never got one. $3.99 is still a good deal to me....

If thats true hell I'll spek $4 to have 10 filters. Saves money, just buy oil and keep moving.

Only the 2001 VQ30 shares the 65F00 with the VQ35. The 9E000 is used on all the earlier 3 liters.

And all this time I thought you were Mr. BMW. What a joke! Truly a legend in your own mind, FF!

Me too! It's funny how being money conscious is "uncool" to some people. I think it's ok, just don't be cheap with people you care about, family, kids, sig other, etc. But strangers, like someone selling a car, oil filter, insurance, digital camera, why not save a few $? The official $ amt I saved on my insurance is $672/yr. after all the emails, web surfing, and phone calls. Puts a huge dent in my property tax bill....NOT!

paid 31.92 for another 8 oil filters. i'm set for a while now, i have 16pcs. wait for the $1.39/qt deal for castrol gtx and buy a few cases. oil changes are the most frequent maintenance if u ask me; and being money conscious is very important, especially with the inflated costs of.. basically everything these days. every dollar counts.

Totally agree, it's just plain foolish to pay $2.50 more for an oil filter if you can help it. Being arrogant about it is just dumb.

I see you're in north Jersey, my g/f lives there and commutes to Manhattan. Some of the houses in her town have 17k in property tax, for a 1/5 acre lot, hers is 11. There's nothing to be ashamed of in saying a single person has to pinch pennies to afford the cost of living. I don't see that 1.39 Castrol anymore, seems to have gone up! I'm down to about 16 qts., which is good for 4 changes. I stashed 12 filters away after I started this thread...
