  • Extremely Low E36 Fuel Filter scraping issues



    My E36 sedan is pretty low (i think like 1-2 inches ground clearance at the lowest point)

    and I have gone through 2 fuel filter brackets, and 3 different fuel filters... for some odd reason the 328i and I think M3 models of the E36 run a gigantic fuel filter... and its location is extremely vulnerable to getting scraped...


    anyone got any tips as far as running a smaller fuel filter or relocating the fuel filter??

    Fuel filters on the M50s are located in the left side of the engine block, you should check on that

      this.

      i had a 316i, that car had the filter under the body, near the frame rail.
      also had a 323i, (m52) tho never changed filter, but i think it was also located at the frame rail.
      and i have a 325i, (m50) has the filter on the block, under the intake mainfold.
      had some m50 blocks (320i etc) also had filters on the blocks.

      so i would recommend to, reloacte the filter.

                            thank you haha, i drive this baby every single day... always drive with my buddies in the car...

                            EDIT: my front coils are as low as they can go anyways... probably lower the rear a bit more to get rid of the current rake.
