I recently bought a used BMW and have to do my first oil change. When I called around for prices 1 person said that the price includes a German Filter, the other 2 people didn't mention that. Is it necessary to use a German Filter? If so, why?

Every manufacturer has their own filter, made by a sub contractor. What I noticed on my Hyundai, is that while AC Delco made a direct replacement, the Hyundai filter had a better bypass valve design, and came in a sealed wrapper such that NOTHING could get into the filter before installation. Such as bugs, and yes, that does happen.
