- When replacing fuel filter:
Use appropriate hose clamping device to clamp off filter
inlet and outlet hoses to lessen fuel spillage.
Loosen center clamping bracket and hose clamps on
either end of filter.
Note arrow or markings indicating direction of flow on
new filter.
Install new filter using new hose clamps
- Drain fuel filter from inlet side into a container and inspect
drained fuel.
Checlc for rust, moisture and contamination.
I - I < If fuel filter is equipped with fuel pressure regulator:
I 2 / Remove vacuum hose (1)
Pull out locking clip (2).
- Remove fuel pressure regulator (3).
Install pressure regulator in new filter.
Clean thoroughly around the filler connections before
removing them.
After assembly, check filter connections carefully for
I
I lealcs before installing cover.
NOTE- ~-
Additional informarion about the fuel filler assembly is in 160
Fuel Tank and Fuel Pump.
Fuel tank and fuel lines, inspecting
lnspectthe fuel tank, fuel lines, and fuel system fordamage or
lealts. Checlc for fuel lealts in the engine compartment or fuel
odors in the passenger compartment. Check for any evapora-
tive emissions hoses that may have become disconnected,
checking carefully at charcoal canister and evaporative emis-
sions purge system. See
130 Fuel Injection and 160 Fuel
Tankand Fuel Pump for component locations and additional
information.
WARNING-
When checlcing for fuel leal(s, the engine must be cold. A hot
exhaust manifold or exhaust system could cause the fuel to
ignite or explode causing serious personal injury Ventilate
the work area and clean up spilled fuel immediately.

ing at the finish when it is wet. If the water coats the paint in
smooth sheets instead of forming beads that roll off, a new
coat of wax is needed. Waxshould not be applied to black trim
pieces, rubber, or other plastic parts.
Windshield wiper blade maintenance
Common problems with the windshield wipers include streak-
ing or sheeting, water drops afler wiping, and blade chatter.
Streaking is usually caused when wiper blades are coated
with road
film or car wash wax. Clean the blades using soapy
water.
If cleaning the blades does not cure the problem, they
should be replaced. BMW recommends replacing the wiper
I blades twice a year, before and after the cold season.
I
< To replace wiper blade, depress retaining tab (arrow) and
slide blade out of arm.
I - Checlc tension spring that forces wiper against glass. Re-
place wiper arm if spring tension is weak.
Drops that remain behind after wiping are caused by oil, road
film, or diesel exhaust coating the windshield. Use an alcohol
or ammonia solution or a nonabrasive cleanser to clean the
windshield.
Wiper blade chatier may be caused by dirty or worn blades,
by a dirty windshield, or by bent or twisted wiper arms. Clean
the blades and windshield as described above.
Adjusithe
wiper arm so that there is even pressure along the blade, and
so that the blade is perpendicularto the windshield at rest. Lu-
bricate the wiper linkage with a light oil. The
linkage is located
under the hood on the driver's side. If the problem persists,
the blades are excessively aged or worn and should be re-
placed. See
61 1 Wipers and Washers for more information.

Engine identifying features
4 The M52 engine (MY97-98 528i) used a single on-off vari-
able intake valve timing system (called VANOS). The cylinder
block is cast iron and the cylinder head is aluminum. The en-
gine management system is Siemens MS 41
.I and features
NGK-type (0-5 volt) oxygen sensors.
NOTE-
VANOS is an acronym based on the German words Variable
Nocltenwellen Steuerung (variable camshaft timing).
4 The M52 TU engine (MY99-00 5281) and the M54 engines
(MY01-02 525il530i) are fitted with double VANOS. The en-
gine
blocits are constructed of aluminum alloy with cast iron
cylinder sleeves.
4 The double VANOS (variable camshaft control) system incor-
porates true variable control of both the
intake and exhaust
camshafts, as compared to the single VANOS system on the
M52 engine
(onloff control of the intaite camshaft only).
The M54 engines use a fully electronic throttle control (drive
by wire). There is no accelerator cable connecting the throttle
pedal to the throttle housing in these cars.

I Engine Removal and Installation
Engine removal and installation are covered in this repail
group.
See 100 Engine-General for engine identification details
and engine codes.
Transmission removal is required for all models before the
engine can be removed. This is best accomplished with the
car raised on an automotive lift. For additional procedures re-
quired during engine removal, refer to the following repair
groups:

Special tools
Some special tools are required for engine removal and in-
stallation. Be sure to have the necessary equipment on hand
before starting the job.

4 Remove cylinder head top cover:
Remove plastic trim caps
(arrows).
Remove cover retaining fasteners and lifl off cover.
- Remove alternator cooling tube.
4 Drain engine coolant and remove coolant hoses:
* Remove expansion tank cap on coolant reservoir.
Place a
3 gallon pail beneath engine to capture coolant,
* Remove coolant drain plug located on exhaust side of
cylinder
2 of engine block (arrow).
NOTE-
Drain plug for M52 TU and M54 engine shown. Plug for M52
located between cylinders 4 and 5.
Drain radiator by removing plastic drain plug (arrow) from
bottom of radiator.
WARNING-
Use extreme caution when draining and disposing of engine
coolant Coolant is poisonous andlethal to humans andpets.
Pets are attracted to coolant because of its sweet smell and
taste. Seek medical attention immediately if coolant is ingest-
ed.
NOTE-
