Fuel filter location on 2009 323i?

Hi there I would like to confirm if someone can let me know the location of the fuel filter on the above car. I followed the video below but removing the cover in the video does not provide me with access to the fuel filter. I am based in Toronto so this would be the north American version the car which may explain why I cannot find it in the same location as the video perhaps? Your help is appreciated

Here is the video:

Look it up in the above .
If it's like the ones in the 3 liter motors its in the
gas tank where it cannot be easily reached.
(or safely reached)

That video looks like its an e36 filter.

The OP posted this twice. I went through it on the other post. The external fuel filter is only used on diesels.

It is under the rear passenger seat left side (looking forward towards the front of the card). The filter and fuel pressure regulator is one combined piece, and the left side fuel level gauge. (It is inside the fuel tank but has access to it under the seat)

Number 2 in below link:

Pump is on the right, with right side fuel level gauge.

You will find DIY's on Pelican Parts website, or here.

Opening the tightening ring calls for a special tool, but you can use a brass drift and hammer instead. Spraying little bit penetrating oil helps there, not too much.
Start the job when the fuel level is low, will cause less mess.

No offense, but you are just ONE of MANY who don't realize what the best reference is for Procedures, Component Locations, etc.: TIS, NOT random videos that don't even explain WHAT model, engine, country of sale, etc. is being worked on.

Here is the TIS procedure for YOUR 323i:
https://www.newtis.info/tisv2/a/en/e...lines/2SobKA5Z

That TIS Procedure shows it located to the LEFT or Driver's side of the rear of the transmission (note the drive shaft ;-)

Please let us know if that Procedure is NOT correct for your vehicle. All of the US 6-cyl cars have NO external, inline, fuel filter AFAIK.

Thanks for the info just to confirm what exactly is TIS? The TIS procedure you provided above seems to be identical to the YouTube video I posted so just curious. Thanks to all those who posted responses. Appreciate it!
