Bmw Fuel Filter Replacement, 318 Diesel. "How to DIY"

Also Cutting Open Old Filter After 147000 Miles. The fuel filter was getting on a bit, it is the original one from new. In this video I show how to replace the filter in a step by step guide, then I cut open both a new filter and a old one to compare the elements, as Bmw state the diesel fuel filter is a lifetime filter, although how long is a "lifetime", with some really interesting results. Most Bmw models use one of two filters, including 1Series, 2 Series, 3 Series, 4 Series, 5 Series, 6 Series and 7 Series. This car is a 318 d and is identical to the 320 d. Thanks for watching.
