      It will work but getting it to fit may be an issue.

      Seriously though the correct E30 fuel filter is $10 or less...

        E36 filter is like a foot long. E30 one is like 6 inches.

        IDK why you wouldn't just buy the e30 one. It's cheap.

                Been using one on my ix for longer than I care to mention. Runs like crap most the time tho. But that's unrelated.
