BMW R1200R R1150R/T F800 K1200R R1100R/T R1250R RnineT Message Board

Yes, its true. 3/4-16 thread. The filter fits R1100RT also. Its longer than the BMW one for the camhead. I think the BMW part # for the oilhead is a direct cross. Drain back valve is there, but does not matter, the filter can't drain.

I order parts all day long, so asking for a 1348 while I am on the phone makes it real easy. Its less about money and more about convenience.

Clean Oil, Clean air and Clean fuel. That is all it takes.

Edit: I just went to napa and plugged in the 1100 oil filter #. It came up PS7936 filter with a 3/4-16 thread. I have been through this a few times. That is the thread.

Just my 2 cents

WOW How old are you????
Don't tell me you rode a Harley WLA-45 across the sands of Normandy or was it a BMW R75 sidecar rig through Poland toward Moscow. (You young guys can look those bikes up)

Some say that the bike is a Zundapp. I have no idea, but the picture seemed apt...

At that time there was no big difference betveen Zundapp and BMW.The concept is very similar on both boxers.By years passing Zundapp gone for ever BMW staing for ever.Today,BMW in cars and motorcicles is one of world leaders.Please correct me if I am wrong.

With a little research I found a Mahle filter that fits both my R1100S and my R1200R and my Toyota Tacoma. Yes, the filter is a bit longer than stock. Yes there is a, IMHO, statistically insignificant chance that a rock may puncture the filter housing, I'm willing to take that chance. OTOH a longer filter offers more filter media area and therefore more filtering. You can choose whatever filter you want. Somewhere I saw words to the effect that Mahle is or has been an OEM supplier to BMW. Here is the info.

I bought 10 filters from these folks:

10 to reach the free shipping threshold.

The Mahle filter appears to be a very well make filter equal to either the BMW or the Toyota OEM filter.

It's only statistically insignificant if it hasn't happened to you. For me - it's 100%... (and I don't want to repeat it.) If you're running a longer filter that protrudes out of the engine casting - a GS bash-pan might be a good investment in safety.

What's the part number for an ac/delco oil filter for an R1150R? On the other hand, the nut on the top of the k&n makes life a whole lot easier...
