My 2008 has the fuel filter integrated into the fuel pump assembly which is not cheap.

HOWEVER, based on my rules, I replaced the electric fuel pump on my 2008 E70 with a 4.8l at around 70k miles. Just a PM as far as I was concerned. Also I was planning on doing a lot of long distance travel and I did not want to learn how long the E70 fuel pumps last.

The pump is a DIY job, BUT far more difficult that any other BMW I have worked on due to the wiring connections and other hoses that connect inside the tank. Kind of a PITA, it clearly was not a 15 minuted job like the E46/E39 I have replaced in the past.
