Hi, can somebody tell me were the fuel filter is located on my '93
325i BMW?  My Bently Manual was kind of vague.  There does apear to be
something that looks like a fuel filter on the very top of the engine.

Any recomendations on a specific part/part number for replacement?

Regards,

Tim

Looks like your filter should be on the firewall, mounted vertically.  It
will have an arrow on it showing the fuel flow direction and a fuel line
hose attached on each end.

BMW part number is 13 32 1 220 038 for cross reference purposes.  I'm sure
you can find a bazillion places to buy an aftermarket one.

The main pump and the filter should be under the car just forward of the
left rear wheel.

If it's an E36 then it's where the other guy said, more or less.

While that is true for my '95, it is apparently not the case for the '93.
Looking at the TIS it indicates it is mounted in the engine compartment on
the firewall.  It is a fatter filter, similar to the one used on E30's
rather than the thin long one used on my '94 and '95 cars.

tought there was two.

No.  Not on the E36.
It appears from the TIS that they changed the location and type of filter
sometime between your car ('93) and mine ('95)

Ah, it was in front of the left rear tire.

Hmmm...  I guess the TIS lied to me.  Sorry about the confusion.  That's
where mine is too ('95).
