RLGDiesel, best to install the new oil filter securely in the cap before reinstalling the cap/filter assembly. Never would have considered doing it your way, which strikes me as problematic.

By the way my sons' BMW's have the same basic oil filter/cap configuration. I always install the new oil filter in the cap before reinstalling the cap/filter assembly.
