Detailed Description

Sparta PN3046 is a fuel pump module assembly designed for in-tank installation on select BMW 323i, 328i, 325i, and 330i family vehicles, including coupe and xi variants listed in the fitment data. It is configured for gasoline use and features a plastic housing, hose outlet, pin terminals, and a rectangular single-connector layout for specific-fit replacement service. The included fuel sending unit supports fuel level reporting, while the turbine-style pump and external strainer help maintain fuel delivery through normal wear conditions.

This part cross-references Bosch (e.g., 67896) for the same application. Use Sparta PN3046 when replacing a worn fuel pump module on compatible BMW 325Ci, 330Ci, 325xi, and 330xi models from the listed years.

Common Problems This Part Can Address

• Hard starting caused by a weak or failing in-tank fuel pump
• Engine hesitation or stalling from inconsistent fuel pressure
• Incorrect fuel level readings from a worn sending unit
• Fuel delivery loss on higher-mileage BMW 3 Series vehicles
• Poor drivability related to a restricted or aging pump module

Installation Notes and Tips

Install PN3046 in the fuel tank only, and verify the vehicle uses the listed specific-fit configuration before removal of the original module. Because mounting hardware, gasket or seal, lock ring, and wire harness are not included, reuse or source the required service parts as needed. Confirm connector shape, terminal count, outlet style, and fuel line routing before installation.
