Detailed Description

Built for BMW fuel system service, this Pierburg fuel pressure regulator helps keep fuel pressure within specification so the engine receives a consistent supply under changing load and driving conditions. The hydraulic diaphragm valve design is suited to applications that require controlled pressure regulation for smooth fuel delivery and stable combustion. If you are replacing a worn BMW 325i fuel pressure regulator, a BMW M3 fuel pressure regulator, or a BMW 525i fuel pressure regulator, this OE-style part provides the correct pressure rating and fitment profile.

This part cross-references Bosch 0 280 160 249 for the same application.

What It Helps Solve

• Erratic fuel pressure that affects drivability
• Hard starting caused by unstable fuel delivery
• Rich or lean running conditions from pressure imbalance
• Fuel pressure loss that can lead to hesitation or rough idle
• Inconsistent combustion performance under load
