Title: Fuel Filter
Post by: argent brick on May 27, 2014, 11:54:33 PM: Hi Guys,

I have not posted in anything in ages but here is my question. It is new fuel filter time and I am not crazy about driving 75-80 miles (plus bridge toll) for the privilege to pay almost 20 clams for a stock filter. Any ideas?

We have Autozone, Kragens, NAPA, and Walmart easy to get to here in town. Thanx.

I wouldn't swear to it but I think the NAPA filter might be half of that...or, at least, less

Post by: K75RT Keith on May 28, 2014, 08:54:18 AM: +1 on the NAPA Filter. About 5 bucks. Seems to work as well as the BMW "official" filter for about a quater of the cost.

Post by: argent brick on May 29, 2014, 04:26:56 PM: Thanks for the feedback everyone. I picked up the Napa Gold 3032 here in town. Four dollars and some change. That beats the eighteen dollars from my local dealer by a long shot. Factor in commute cost to the dealer and I just saved about $40 big ones!

Thank you.

Good to carry a spare, if not for you, for the person you meet or ride with who will need it.

Nope, just bought one. Now that you have said I need a spare, I will need one out in the middle of nowhere.
