Default Replacement PCV filters BEWARE!!

I have purchased a replacement filter element for the PCV unit and was curious to see how it measured up to a genuine original BMW element.
here is the comparison between the two.
the after market element is only 9mm thick. The Original BMW element is 13mm thick..

Anyone know who supplies the good quality after market ones of the correct spec ?
