Thanks, btw I saw in your 1st post here you asked about the Chinese market OEM inline filter. I posted this message to the m3 cutters injector thread.
I've been looking into whether this is feasible to re-create.
As far as I can tell (using realoem and the above filter's part No), even in China this was not an option for the M3 (at least with this filter).
It was however fitted to the regular e9x's there and to the 1M (which shares much of the e9x M3's platform).
Here's the realoem links if anyone's interested :-
China 335i (M3s not listed for that filter) - https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...46#16127451424
China e82 1M inline fuel filter - https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/sho...46#16127451424
Looking at the parts there (& the above diagram from kevinm) they have an extra fuel line (a return line), and it appears to return to the pump, a photo on realoem shows 2 pipe connections, presumably our M3's pumps don't? If so, replacing a pump to achieve this would just make it pointlessly expensive!
So next I'm going to look at a hybrid setup, a simple 2 outlet inline fuel filter underneath (in the same position as above, using that bracket) and splice in the fuel filter or get some fuel lines made up.

So it looks like I might well be doing a similar thing to you, although my plan is to use the OEM bracket, rather than making one. Hopefully the captive nut is there for the bracket's bolt, if not I'll buy a thread insert.
