I was hoping that it's unlikely that the filter would get completely plugged, suddenly. My X5 has never shown a stumble on starting, nor has there ever been a long crank, even with a low battery.
I asked my neighbor why he didn't replace both the filter and regulator at once, but he said it didn't seem to need both. of course, he's a Subaru, Kia, Jeep, and Dodge Ram fan, so what would he know. hahaha
