Fitment:
Compatible with the following BMW N54-powered vehicles:
- 1 Series (E82, E88): 11/2006 – 10/2013.
- 3 Series (E90, E90 LCI, E91, E91 LCI, E92, E92 LCI, E93, E93 LCI): 02/2004 – 06/2013.
- X1 (E84): 04/2009 – 06/2015.
Usage Notes:
-
Fuel Levels and Starvation:
- With the standard Walbro filter, low fuel conditions (below 1/8 tank) can cause starvation during hard accelerations.
- For road course applications, running less than a half tank may cause issues during prolonged high-G turns.
- Consider the PFS Bucketed LPFP for such applications to ensure consistent fuel delivery.
-
Modern Fuel Compatibility:
- Modern fuels can degrade rubber components. PFS systems use advanced fuel tubes to ensure reliability and compatibility, preventing issues such as hose swelling, bursting, or contamination of the fuel system.
