From a local autoparts store: Bosch, Duestch, ...any Autozone should have them.

From other sources: Mann, Mahle, OEM VW/Audi. All 3 are basically the same filter. Harder to find but used by many religiously in thier Audi's....

I don't think you can get a good filter in a store. Try www.bimmerparts.com
