Hi can anyone tell me how to get at the fuel filter for a 315 1987?

I've just had the carb' professionally serviced but the symptoms of hard to start with limited revs and power particularly on increased demand from the accelerator are still dogging this poor wannabee enthusiasts pride 'n joy.

With thanks in advance.

i've never dealt with a carb'd e30 so this may not be true, the early cars had it below the brake booster on lhd cars and on later cars they moved it to just in front of the left rear wheel

oh man 4 sylinder engine right ????? i would check the fuel system before i replace any part also check the dist the have a bushing piece between two part in the dist ...remove the cap and see if there is any play or major play its hard to tell it u dont have specs......going back to the fuel filter its usualy located either by the with the outer mounted fuel pump with other parts or by the driver side by the fire wall ,,,,,,good luck and keep us updated
