To anyone doing the oil filter, be careful with that coolant tank. There's a plastic T fitting for the coolant system that is very easy to snap without much force, especially now that these cars are getting older. If you do snap that part, you can get a 3/4 by 5/8 by 3/4 brass T barbed fitting from somewhere like Lowes, only like a $6 part. I snapped mine and replaced it with one of those. I couldn't find a 3/4 by 5/8 by 3/4 at Lowes and ended up buying a 3/4 by 3/4 by 3/4 fitting, the line to the turbo was tight but it worked. Also needed to get hose clamps as well. Theres a good youtube video somewhere on it.
When he says be careful when moving the reservoir to get at the oil filter believe him. I snapped the outflow pipe off when it joins the engine resulting in having to buy an expensive replacement part. 10 year old plastic pipes/tubes can get brittle. Be careful.

Did changing the plugs solve the misfire?
As usual… GREAT content!
i had this problem, it did help
It’s 27mm
oh that oil filter is the definition of german engineering 😂
Engine is Citroen peugeot / Bmw......
French Engineering that the Germans and Brits had to live with as it wasnt their engine design... pitfalls of brands using off the shelf engines.
Mine is the r58. Oil filter burned out on me for some reason. Only 74k miles when it happened
Engine Citroen Peugeot / Bmw.....
I remember you adding a wing/spoiler in your first video. Congrats on how far you've come.
