Yep, well the old Kayser fuel filter is drying out so I'll eventually get it open and photograph the contents.

Edjack is correct, plus anything that keeps your fuel pump from having to push fuel through a backed-up slog is worth an hour and a few bucks.

That is possible. All four clamps had BMW markings, one hose had a BMW mark on it, so a filter change could have been done by a dealer using a NOS Kayser/ BMW filter years later. The car is an...

Thumbs up Original fuel filter change at 229k

Going down my list of maintenance items for my recently acquired '99 528i, I changed my fuel filter today and was shocked to see a Feb. 1999 date stamped on the side of the original Kayser. After...

Fishsalt was correct - Techron didn't cause the misfire- it appears it was a faulty coil or coil boot that was just installed in February.

Interesting points, and I've read other threads that point toward a possible link between K&N filters and MAF sensor problems. Here's the rub- my 528i has 229,872 miles on it, and a K&N filter has...

Looks like the coil BOOT was the culprit. New Bremi coil and boot to be installed next week and the Techron C+ FSC tank is almost empty with no obvious changes in performance.

A coincidence, apparently. Found the misfire in #2, which is the same coil I replaced with a no-name from NAPA in January. I had spare coils from when I replaced the other original '99 Bremi,...

Started it two more times for minute-long idles without problems. Drove 12 miles to work, city and highway and all was perfect, parked the car. Three hours later, the stutter came back when I...

Techron could (PROBABLY NOT) cause misfire?

I'd like to know if this is common. I've searched the forums a bit and not found much info. I have a '99 E39 528i that loves hot weather. I installed new plugs and coils in January. Yesterday, I...

edjack is right, I think. Just know going in that something as simple as changing YOUR OWN oil will cost more than you might think (mine cost $72). If you are mechanically capable, it is a lot of...

I've wanted a BMW since I saw the new e39's introduced in Germany back in the mid 1990's. Three weeks ago, I bought a jet black 1999 528i of my own.
