I know that a lot of parts are manufactured for BMW by other companies. For example, the brake discs on E39's are made by 'Zimmerman', brake pads made by 'Textar' and 'Jurid', fan belts are made by 'Conti'. Similarly I would have thought that someone also make the fuel filter like 'Mahle' or 'Hengst'. If you know these routes then you can save yourself shed loads of cash by avoiding the stealer. ------------- 2000 E39 530i Sport Auto M54 Titan Silver |

With euro car parts i always check out their parts number to make sure the part is original quality...not "alternative quality" if you click on the different part number box it gives the explaination, but i believe its "Hengst" or "Bosch" that do Bmw's filters hope this helps chaz ------------- Current : 1995 BMW E34 540I Auto 98K Fully Loaded, Leather, Sat Nav & Dvd.
