Thanks Harlie, Ill try just the normal supercheap/repco bmw x5 filters and hope for the best at this point, no one seems to have a specific listing for the L322 strangely

I've brought in 5L40/50 transmission overhaul kits from USA at much reduced price and included just a "5L40" trans filter at a horrendous US$6.00, admittedly its added about $15 to the postage, that they already mark up just for the o'haul kit.
Yes, low price for o'haul kit and fairly high for the postage.
I can recall 2 years ago I was quoted $900 (plus the G) for basic ohaul kit ( no steels) here in Oz; from US i cost around $550 including steels, valve block pistons and postage!
