Hi,

Does the N20 F30 have a fuel filter?

Newtis is showing a external fuel filter, but real oem has no part number?

Anyone changed this?

I'm ok 90k miles and assuming it's never been changed.

Thanks

AFAIK the filter is built into the pump in the fuel tank.

Why does Tis show an external one? Confusing data

Any idea on how to change, shows up as a whole unit in real oem?

The only filter shown for my N20 F34 is in the complete fuel pump assembly, which includes the fuel level sensor and fuel filter, referred to as a delivery module. The filter is supposedly rated as 'lifetime'. The car's, not yours.

Haha yeah, bmw and their lifetime policy. Imagine their expectancy for a car is the standard warranty period.

Any tips on replacing the model?

My advice is if it's not broken don't fix it.

Just be sure to keep you gas tank filled up... don't run it all the way close empty. All those crap at the bottom of your gas tank.

Yeah, always fill up at 1/4 more or less.

Ordered that filter as the auto parts store confirmed it's on our cars?

Also TIS mentions a external filter, maybe it's a euro thing?

Will find out this weekend and update

I've seen it mentioned as being on cars for the Chinese market, to help with claimed inferior fuel, but that's as likely as not jingoistic nonsense. None of the usual sources list one for my 328, but there are quite a few aftermarket fuel pumps, at 1/3 the price of OEM.
