Based on industry averages you can expect to pay between $11.84 and $24.69 for a BMW 535i fuel filter.
The BMW 535i fuel filter helps to keep impurities and debris out of the car's fuel system. It is designed to trap particles such as dirt, rust, and other contaminants that can cause damage to the engine or clog fuel injectors. By filtering out these harmful particles, the fuel filter ensures that the engine receives clean fuel for optimal performance and efficiency. Over time, the fuel filter can become clogged and need to be replaced to maintain proper function.

Replacing the Fuel Filter on Your BMW 535i
- Gather the necessary tools and equipment: safety glasses, mechanic gloves, replacement fuel filter, socket wrench set, fuel line disconnect tool.
- Locate the fuel filter: The fuel filter on a BMW 535i is located underneath the car, near the rear wheel on the driver side.
- Disconnect the battery: Before starting any work, disconnect the negative terminal of the battery to avoid any electrical shock.
- Depressurize the fuel system: Locate the Schrader valve on the fuel rail, which looks like a tire valve stem. Carefully remove the plastic cap from it and place a rag over the valve, then use a small screwdriver to press the stem.
- Disconnect the fuel lines: Use a fuel line disconnect tool to separate the fuel lines from the fuel filter. Be cautious as some fuel may spill out, hence the need for safety glasses and mechanic gloves.
- Remove the old fuel filter: Use a socket wrench to remove the mounting bolts holding the fuel filter in place, then carefully remove the filter from its housing.
- Install the new fuel filter: Take the new fuel filter and insert it into the housing, ensuring that it is properly positioned. Reinstall the mounting bolts and tighten them securely.
- Reconnect the fuel lines: Using the fuel line disconnect tool, reconnect the fuel lines to the new fuel filter.
- Reconnect the battery: Reconnect the negative terminal of the battery.
- Start the engine and check for leaks: Turn on the car and check for any fuel leaks around the filter. Also, check the fuel pressure gauge to ensure that the fuel pressure is stable.
