I am not looking for directions on how to replace the filter. I actually have that link bookmarked for doing the job. I am very specifically trying to figure out the location of the filter. Right now, that is all i need to know. Where is it? I cannot find it in the tank on driver's side. I have read multiple forums before registering here because I simply am at my wits end. Dealership doesn't have an answer either. I cannot find a forum, web page, or any link anywhere that is specific to my 2008 X3. I am going to check the passenger's side access panel, but I am skeptical and did not want to get into unplugging the fuel pump if not necessary to access the filter.
