i cant find the fuel filter on my 86 325. i was told it was under the car right infront of the left front wheel, but i dont see a canister there that resembles the fuel filter i was sent by BMA. the filter ig ot is about the size of a 12oz pop can, maybe a lil smaller, and has two openings for the fuel line, one on top and another on the bottom. can some show me a picture of where the fuel filter is located?

There is a protective coverplate type thing over it. Some I hear have the fuel filter under the bonnet, beneath the ps reservoir.

I dont think it is in front of the left front wheel. Check in front of the left rear wheel.Originally posted by Group A View Post

You're more observant than I am. I completely missed that. Yes in front of the driver's side rear wheel. NOT front wheel.

You're probably seeing the pump. The filter on your car should be in the engine bay below the P/S resivior/brake master cylener area.Originally posted by lordofthewaters View Post
They didn't start putting the filter in the rear of the car until '88 when the single pump deal came out.Adam Fogg- '88 M3

I meant that, I missed where he said, "I was told it was under the car right infront of the left front wheel, but i dont see a canister there that resembles the fuel filter".
But I did not know when they actually changed the filter location. Thanks might be good to know.

In the early model cars, the external pump is located in front of the rear driver's side wheel. In the later model cars, if you look in the same place, you now have the fuel filter there.
As for fuel filters and early model cars, my 318i (m10) has it right below the PS reservior.... sitting vertically along the frame.Erick Mahle | FullOpp Drift | YouTube
