          That's not a filter, that's the secondary pump.

            The fuel filter is in front of the left rear tire on late model cars. :)

                Josh, you've convinced me. Shaving my bay on the project car will be a needed step now before I drop the S50 in.
                Need a part? PM me.

                      Not unless I need to. Both of my pumps are relatively new (low mileage used), and I'd rather not fork out the cash for a replacement if I don't have to.

                              same thing that i did. here is some motivation(my car)



                              and just recently pulled the engine for the turbo build

                              i know its not the best quality work but its the first time ive ever done anything like this and i think it isnt that great, i plan on re-doing the bay

                              When people ask you what car you drive and you say a BMW and they get all excited until they see it...
                              my build thread. M50 swap, shaved bay, and wire tuck. http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=87351
