There's nothing wrong with the system - the filter is doing exactly what it's supposed to do! But regular replacement of the fuel filter will ensure plenty of fuel is available for the engine to make power with. Is there a power gain from a fuel filter?
No, but there is power restoration. The fuel filter is easily accessible on most cars and replacement is straight forward. Sort By:. T : Part : In Stock. Add to Cart. Add to Wish List.

I hope it will allow a little more yet, to attend the stock S65 fuel need. I'll try to put it under the car, and for that, I'll need to cut the fuel steel tubing and put the filter with hoses connecting to the tubing. That filter has only two hose connections, no return line, which is good for this application. Please, don't say E92 has a filter in pump suction, because if it doesn't get clogged, then it doesn't retain any dirt. I'll report back when it's running or if I find any obstacle for the adaption.
Appreciate 1. Davisca All times are GMT The time now is PM. BMW Garage. Mark Forums Read. Where is the E92 M3 fuel filter locate?
User Name. Thread Tools. Is replacing the filter something that the average garage mechanic can do? How much is the filter? Roughly, how much does dealer charge for labor to replace the filter? Is the fuel filter part of the fuel pump? Thanks Wallyf. It isn't cheap, and there isn't a set interval on changing it.
The filter is considered 'lifetime' by BMW, except that lifetime just means until the part fails. I'm changing the fuel filter every years or 30k miles.
The filter won't fail. It would at worst case get clogged enough to make the engine starve of fuel and you would notice a lack of performance and it would go into limp home mode, but it wouldn't leave you on the side of the road.
Cars used to have hand cranks to start the engine until Cadillac introduced the electric starter. Why is it that people on this board can't get their head around that as technology progresses, things like maintenance intervals change.
One of the reasons BMW's are expensive is becuase they are well some times over engineered. From that engineering comes things like lifetime fuel filters. Appreciate 1. WatashiEd Sad thing is that car technology hasn't changed that much since the electric starter. You still need oil, filters, belts, and spark plugs. Biggest changes are all the electronics. It's one thing to compare an electronic starter to a hand crank, it's another thing to say that transmission fluid or fuel filters last a "lifetime".
A clogged fuel filter can cause internal engine damage if you're running too lean. If BMW really believes in "lifetime" fluids and filters, then they should give me a lifetime warranty.
