2002 530i "OIL" microfilter - DOES THIS PART EXIST?

THe microfilter is just the filter. The oil filter is available off the shelf at advance auto parts. It's the original equipment German brand, "Mann". It's about $12.00. The price of $300 you were quoted is more the range for a transmission oil change, not engine oil.

Don't be confused about the word"microfilter". Again, it just means the filter, same as any other car.

Cause and solution

sounds like one of the oil breather pipes is bloked wich will cause oil to feed to the cylinder wich will cause smoke and uneavan running wich will cause the car to **** when standing. take off all breathing pipes main ones come from the rocker covers clean them and put them back. the main engine breather will come out of the engine block do the same.

No blue smoke may be too much fuel check temp sensor or mass air flow sensor or 02 sensors

blue smoke on any and most vehicles is indicative of oil sliping past valve guide seals and on start up being burned off at start up, General rule of thumb is blue is oil , white is water and black is running rich...
