Guess it was intended as a BMW version of the fuel filter. I will contact the seller..


It has happened to me twice before, and as you rightly say the filter with a darain tap attached on base is the wrong one, not only does it not fit as too tall, I had a job persuading a certain supplier famous for their constant sales that this was the case, always buy Bosch as these are made in Austria and are very good.
