Help!!! Rough shifting on my 03 e46. Has cog light on after new maf. Super rough shifting downshifting and upshifting. It's an automatic. Please help!!!!!!

Great DIY again. Most of the owners didn't replace it because the filter isn't visible. I did my friend's e46 318i n46 2003, and it was never replaces before for 150t mls :0 . After that the engine had a much better start…. The n46 has this type of filter too. But maybe the e46 N46B18 was not sold in the USA..?…

Bavarian Autosport have nice kit for the hoses and clamps.

Looks sooooooo easy with a lift. I did this in my garage without a lift and was a pain in the butt. I couldn't get proper leverage and my hand slipped. I ended up with a huge gash on my right hand.

renragged says:

I've still got to do this. One of the few remaining things to take care of on my E46. Thanks for sharing! Keep up the good work!

Randy Barrientos says:

how often you suppose to replace your fuel filter?

Jayash patel says:

I did this and the best way is to remove the pump fuse and start the car few times. Takes the pressure and less fuel on the fuse hose and filter. I did prime it 3 times and still would not start took 8 attempts before car start and works fine. Initially I thought I did something wrong but clearly I didn't. I was not aware of the clamps. I put cheap ones they snapped so I just put better ones after that. Did not know you can get fuel clamps

Dude your videos are awesome. Helped me change out my transmission! This one on the other hand. I bought a new fuel pump from 'All Import Auto Parts' almost a year ago. I've been having this starting problem for a while now. Sometimes I have to crank the car a few times to start it and other times it just starts. No known vacuum leaks however, I haven't changed out my fuel filter. My question is, would a bad fuel filter cause starting problems? Mine is a 2002 325i almost 200k miles. It's like I can almost tell there's some issue right under my driver seat like the gas doesn't reach the injectors.

Michael Hector says:

HOW DO YOU PRIME THE ENGINE?

Will Watson says:

Would you recommend running the car without the fuel pump fuse to flush out some of the petrol before hand?

Caddi Man says:

I did a set of valve covers for a customer on a 2007 750 li, 3 times already and they still leak like hell. Any recommendations on where to buy new ones cheap instead of BMW dealer?

Matt Zamora says:

What a coincidence that you just posted this vid. I just ordered a new fuel filter a couple days ago. Thanks for the vid!
