How to Remove the Fuel Filter on a BMW 3 Series

Part: Fuel filter

Let's see how to remove and replace the gasoline filter on a BMW 3 Series. Lift the car on a column lift (jack) and locate the gasoline filter (as shown in the video). Use a socket wrench to unscrew the securing bolts of the round plate around the filter (disconnect the wires and various hoses from the filter) and remove it from under the chassis. Once the filter is removed, take it out of the vehicle (replace it with a new filter). Finally, reinstall the gasoline filter (connect the hoses and wires) and tighten the appropriate bolts.
