He should take the car to another shop if he wants a second opinion.

Yes, I have. I've done plenty of repairs and oil changes on my E82. It would be evident that I do know a little from my initial reply in this thread. The OP says they want to DIY and there's no harm in him pulling the filter element to inspect it himself. All of us started somewhere with no knowledge. I see plenty of reasons from an educational point even if he's not equipped/able to do the rebuild himself. So I don't see why you continue to harp on this.
