Good video i've enjoyed it, but for the future notice the "second clip" on the fuel line attachment, it's a "push-type". You just push it toward the center of the fuel line an it automaticly spread the clips and you can slide the filter out. I hope this will make it a little easyer. Cheer, and keep up the good work on your bimmers guys.

Great instructions, one of the few videos out there on how to do it properly 😀👍

Finally found a filter the same as my 2016 x1 , great video many thanks always good to see what am about to take off

Perfect video for the DIY person. The only issue I had on my car, was the clip at the rear of the filter did not want want to seat into the new filter. The solution was to straighten the bends slightly at the ends. The clip slid right in after that by hand, like yours did.

Great video and nice little edits too. Thanks!

Great vid, nicely detailed! Will qtry this on my own.

Really helpful video, fully of explaining. Thanks

Great video I really appreciate the detail.

very well done. thanks. wondering if you've looked into the CP4 High Pressure Fuel Pump failure. Mine just went out at 131,000 miles. unfortunately BMW decides that because the failing pump sends "man-glitter" into the fuel system, the whole fuel system requires replacement. $12,000.00 tank to injectors (everything in between). I am currently cleaning mine with a bit of compressed air and patience. wish i could have the $12,000 in my hand when I'm done, but saving money is almost as good. Diesel truck guys also have the CP4 pump so a search for "CP4 failure" will get you in the know. BMW extended the warranty on the pump to 120,000 miles/10 years. I just missed it. Please replace your H.P.F.P. if you're about to leave warrant and it is still going. not sure I have the patience to make a video about the process, but it is a labor of love. I'm lucky though now that I'm doing it myself, I'm also purchasing the fuel tank/pump removal tool that opens that ring lock thing, the timing sprocket lock tool set for removing the H.P.F.P. and a few others. plus. Being elbow deep into this nightmare, I've replaced my engine mounts and will also change my valve cover gaskets and oil cooler gaskets as they are starting to leak. Love this car though. was making 50mpg on the open highway coming back from AZ (75mph on cruise-control w/AC on) just before it committed suicide leaving Walmart. It's just a bad design flaw that the ultra low sulfur fuel here in the USA (sulfur gives lubricity) that lubes the pump mechanism is the same fuel that feeds the injectors and gets returned to the tank. funny, i purchased a german diesel so I could do fluid changes, get great mpg, and last for multiple hundred thousands of miles. it WILL last that long, just requires some stupid DIY-skills along the way. oh well, i saved money can brag about how "I" fixed it when I'm done. FML

What a legend ! - great video thanks.

Awsome video man thank you!!!

Thank you so for the video. Helped out

One thing I ran into that wasn’t mentioned but may help others. mine had a tamperproof torx head on one of the undertray retaining bolts. Luckily, I have those too!

Great video and very helpful. Any idea where to get replacements for those tiny green clips? I broke one and like to get them replaced. Thanks.

YOU ARE A HERO!!!!

Best video I have seen changing filtet

Not priming the fuel system is what kills the CP4 pumps I've been told. Backyard fuel filter change without proper priming and CP4 pump dead + the whole fuel system full of metal particles within the first tank of diesel after the filter replacement.

Great job i will do mine soon

Awesome and very helpful content! I am trying to download the ista software to my computer for service to my 328d, any tips on how to do so as well as any recommendations on cables for connections?

Sweet, thanks for the nice N clear video. Shop wanted $110 for filter +1hr labor. Can get the oem Mahle online for under $50, will take 15mins!! Wooho

Thanks Farkle!

Thank you so much for your videos on the 328d. I just acquired a 2014 328d xdrive. Would you happen to know what is completely needed With the ISTA+ and connector(s) and what version etc..is required. Thanks again.

Nice tutorial

Could you explain second step with ISTA, it takes 10 minutes with engine running as I can see?

hello, that safety is how the sides are placed to enter the groove and the end to touch that small side of the filter?

Thank you for a very useful video. I would like to know where can I buy the cable and ista + software. Thanks again

you dont have to remove the green clips just push it out a notch the upper one and the botom one. And you dont need to bleed the fuel, just turn ignition on 3 or 4 times without starting the engine, and the filter will be primed, then a crank of 3 seconds will start the engine

Should the cover go on before the car is started so that any leaks can be seen?

Great vid. Do we need to release any pressure before disconnecting filter?

is this ista bleeding function available for e46 318d and how can i purchase the program

After the fuel filter both ends connected, priming, air goes where?

Hello, thank you for your help with this procedure. My question is: is priming the filter(last step) optional or a must?

Have you seen TuneMyEuro’s 1 Micron Fuel Filter and Water Separator Kit? I believe this kit accepts Donaldson filters which Amsoil even sells on their site so they must be of good quality. TuneMyEuro just posted a install tutorial on their KZfaq Channel. It seems that the way they fabricated it to mount would interfere with your custom 328d oil catch can setup. What are your thoughts?

Can you provide a link to ISTAD/+ and any other diagnostic software you use? Thanks 🙏

Can you please make a video to inform us on what models of the N47 engine had the potential timing chain failure issues. I’m currently interested in purchasing a 2015 328d Wagon with 47,000 miles/excellent service history. There just isn’t much info on the web that talks about if BMW ever fixed these timing chain issues for the U.S. market. Thanks! 🙏

Hi sir can I ask why my insta don't have that 3 minutes bleeds it just have 120s bleed only

Is there any other way to prime the fuel system without ISTA or a scanner? Can you not just do that by putting the car in auxiliary mode and wait a little bit and than off and repeat this for like 5 times? Would that be enough?

Would you mind telling where to buy ISTA ? I can find it everywhere, where did get it from and what kind of experience you had to set it up?

So you did vent via ISTA for your car, it is F31, but I have a question. Should this be done on E60 LCI produced on 2008 with N47 engine too? Thanks in advance.

will Protool do the priming as well ? TIA.

Will the fuel continuously come out once the old filter is removed or only a certain amount?

Dan is under contract 20m to let him go !!

high pressure pump and wallet says thanks

🤣you don't have to spread legs apart, it's push in type connector 🍻

What cheap as* would reuse the drained fuel, never heard of someone doing that. With coolant yes, but not fuel. Lol

4-1 win to us tomorrow
