A 2009 should not need a filter. Are you shooting repair part darts or just trying to be proactive?

The filter looks close to as big as the e53 and I changed one at 185,000 miles and though it was very black it wasn't flow restricted at all prob half its life left. Just a tiny o-ring was actually worn out.

As far as I'm aware the fuel filters on all modern BMW are effectively lifetime filters. People replace on e53 when the o-ring fails and you lose fuel pressure. I wonder if a similar situation goes on in the e70.
