DIY diesel filter replacement - how?

Hi everyone, please if any of you know how to do diesel filter replacement, let me know.

I am fed up with BMW service as I came to realize they never changed my air filter so far, only charged me for it. Today I have found the original, super dirty filter when DIY replaced it with a new one. The car mechanic who did it for me said it looked horrible and not like one after a normal cycle of use but much older.

So I decided doing as much as possible on my own, that's why I want to go for the diesel filter replacement, too.

thanks for any description, link, photos or figures


cheers

I think the filter is indifferent location in the 2 models. I have found a diagram of the fuel supply system of both, even the filters look different and also their location related to other parts within the diagrams. The problem is, the diagram does not specify the location where to find the filter.
