Fuel Filter

DO you have to pull the manifold to change the fuel filter?

I doubt it but depending on build year/filter location it can be a bear to get to, such as on my 94 325i

It's located towards the back under the intake manifold. I was looking at the throttle body I think if i remove that I could get to it. thoughts?

Hmmm... I think you can still access it from underneath on the early E36s, if I'm not mistaken.

Thanks Karl and John I think it can be done without the removal of the manifold. If I pull the TB that will give me alot of room to work plus I gotta take out the ICV to clean it. Thanks for the input. Hows the 328 runnin Karl? been out to the track yet?

Haven't been to the track yet this season, but I hope to at least once. The 328 is doing fine, but it has an odd stumble at low RPM/heavy throttle that I've been struggling to fix. It's pretty minor, but hard to diagnose...

I have the same issue, haven't changed the fuel filter yet so I thought I would start there.

Put a nice sounding exhaust it her the other day and it sounds nice nothing to loud just a nice growl.
