Fuel filter Mann or Mahle

Every single BMW I have ever owned has come to me with the factory date coded filter, every single one gets a new Mann in it and every time it runs better. Change your fuel filter ppl.

How old is that fuel filter? The "die on a hill" is a typical scenario for these old EFI Japanese cars when the filter is beyond saving.

I replaced my V7 III fuel filter with a Mann MWK 44.

I had a spare intake so I took the two sensors from that fuel rail and swapped those along with a Mann 6.6 bar fuel filter onto the car. Started the car and it turned on and ran wonderful (so it seemed).

Brand new Mahle fuel filter

I’m going with genuine BMW hoses and MAHLE fuel filter hoping this time it lasts and nothing rips

The mahle looks more like a traditional fuel filter.

I had a Mann fuel filter from the previous owner so gave that to the shop. They called and said it was a fuel filter not an oil filter so they didn't need it.

The best would be OEM. But Mann is what I used to replace mine. Didn\u2019t feel any difference though and I had about 108k on my car.

So i went and replace the fuel filter to a Mann fuel filter but that did not solve the issue.
