Which oil filter housing?

Does it matter what oil filter housing you use? I have one that is like this- http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/show...6&postcount=12 , and another one that is opposite, the bowl/filter is on the bottom.

I don't think it matters. Although the one pictured is quote a bit easier to access. So go with that one. Mine is the other kind and is covered up by a bunch of wiring/coolant hoses in the engine bay.

IIRC the difference is between b34 and b35, but I'm not sure about that.

Hmmm... Looks like i'm going to go pick up an oil filter housing gasket tomorrow...

Yea. I think e30.de says you can use the m3 housing and cooler as well.

someone sells a spin on adapter that uses a standard filter. Don't remember who though.
