Fuel Filter Bracket

Post by D88TWC »

Hi Guys, While servicing my 1989 635csi the fuel filter bracket located at the rear wheel arch has disintegrated into a rusty pile of dust. I am unable to find aa authentic replacement from BMW. Can anyone direct me to a supplier, or an alternative bracket from someone else? thanks

Hey, I don't have an answer to your question, but I'm gonna move your post to the "Mechanical" forum where you will likely get more views [-o<

The "Workshop" forum is for discussing just that, or your garage \:D/

Hoping picture shows up. $20 Donation to BC and this gets shipped as is. $60 if you want Eastwood Rust Treatment, Eastwood Encapsulator and black paint. Takes time and good prep work but good for a long time. I would prefer the $20 route 😃

I just went through a filter change. Don't forget the rubber damper ring around the filter when installing the new ones.
