I replaced mine myself. Of course I had my car on a lift, so I could walk right under it. Not a hard job, just need basic tools. It's located below your drivers door. Just remove the cover and clamp off the lines during removal. Someone recommended removing the fuel pump fuse first, then crank the engine a few times. This is to relieve the pressure before removal.

Or should I plan on having this done in a shop. .:EDIT:. I found this useful site to help me on my way. But I'm still curious, is this too difficult or risky? http://www.unofficialbmw.com/e36/eng...placement.html |
