Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm the vehicle’s pump style and connector layout before installation. This unit is an in-tank design with a male connector configuration, so matching the original electrical and fuel line connections is important. Review the fitment notes for your BMW model, especially applications that specify a VDO pump, fuel strainer, or hose and clamp requirements.
