Can anyone please advise on how often the fuel filter needs to be renewed on an '05 E60 530D? My car's on it's fourth birthday, with 38K on the clock, but I notice the filter hasn't been changed yet. Is there any specific time/distance when this should be carried out?

Not as yet, but I hope to make arrangements for it soon.

Every third service it gets done eddie, I had mine done recently (unexpectedly) and it's costly due to the location of said filter. I got mine replaced at 53k miles.

That's some low miles you have their for a 530d! wanna swap? lol joking

Hi Gazz C, no idea mate sorry. Ask Shaft69 or one of the bmw techs on here. All I know it's pretty much buried and a lot of things need to be removed to get to it, So it takes a bit of time so i am told.

Sorry dude, I can't help on this one. Red.
