Nervy,
I have it on good authority that said fuel filter is under either driver or passenger seat (outside car obviously) and is renewable every 48k as per service schedule. Pick up the fuel lines and somewhere in line is a metal cannister.

If it's anything like my e39 one it hides behind a plastic cover and spits petrol everwhere when it's first undone.yikes
awesome, thanks D smile
