wheres my fuel filter?

Post by Z3Jeremy »

Morning All,
can anyone pls tell me where my fuel filter is located? my car is misfiring occasionally higher into the rev range..z3 1.9 year 2000. Thankyou for any help in finding the joey.. Also to website organisers can you consider doing away with the poll ie. do it - dont do it, go for it blah blah blah, all a bit nebulous, maybe replace it with a car of the week or month feature/photo ie Z1 Z3 Z4 Z8 standard/race or classic BMWs that look very cool.. Has anyone seen a film called Easy Virtue about a lady racing driver in the 1920s, its very funny and entertaining and features a Frazer Nash BMW that looks epic..

Cheers Jeremy

I have a 2.8 but I think that they are all the same. You have to go under the car, about where the passenger seat is. The filter is covered with a heat sheld secured by 4 bolts. Once removed the filter is underneath. When you fit the new one make sure you install it the correct way. There will be an arrow on the filter to let you know which way the fuel runs through the filter.
