i had posted a reference to this in herpdederp's thread and have gotten a few pm's for photos. i figured the easiest way for members to search for this in the future would be to post a separate thread.
here are the pics.
this one is the side that mounts to the body.
filter mount side
one more for good measure
i found this part in a local junk yard. i don't remember which year it came from but the model was a 740i. well, now that i think about it, there is a very slim chance it came from a 540i? perhaps one of you can research it on realoem and come up with a part number?
also, i see no reason the oil filter housing needs to be mounted in the vertical position. my car will have a/c when i am finished as well as abs brakes. i am thinking about mounting it horizontally under the inner fender on the driver's side. this position will make it easier to drain used oil from it anyway.
