Product Information

Genuine BMW replacement fuel pressure regulator, comes with required o-rings

The fuel pressure regulator is a simple mechanical device which is put in line between your BMW's fuel filter and fuel rail to maintain the required fuel pressure which ensures a reliable supply of fuel to the engine.

If your BMW's fuel pressure is low, particularly at high engine speeds it could be due to a faulty or worn fuel pressure regulator. This replacement will resolve all fuel system issues and restore required fuel pressure.

Fuel Injection Pressure Regulator

The Fuel Injection Pressure Regulator is a critical component of the fuel delivery system that maintains consistent fuel pressure to the injectors. It adjusts fuel flow based on engine demand by regulating excess fuel back to the fuel tank, ensuring optimal air-fuel mixture for efficient combustion. Typically mounted on the fuel rail or integrated within the fuel pump assembly, it helps improve engine performance, fuel efficiency, and emissions control.

Fuel Injection Pressure Regulator Failure Symptoms
  • Poor Engine Performance – Loss of power, hesitation, or rough acceleration
  • Hard Starting or No Start – Insufficient or excessive fuel pressure affecting ignition
  • Engine Misfires or Rough Idle – Irregular fuel delivery disrupting combustion
  • Decreased Fuel Efficiency – Excess fuel consumption due to improper pressure regulation
  • Black Smoke from Exhaust – Rich fuel mixture caused by excessive fuel pressure
  • Fuel Leaks or Fuel Odor – Possible diaphragm failure allowing fuel to escape
  • Check Engine Light (CEL) – Triggered by abnormal fuel pressure readings

Great factory replacement
Matched my OEM one I removed exactly. Install was simple, took a little while, but the part was correct, and quality was great.

Fuel pressure regulator
Good to change sooner then later. On a 95 BMW 525i located under the fuel rail. best to remove the fuel rail first, learned that the hard way.

Question Posted by Rafael
Soory for bother you, but I need some help. I have a BMW e36 1997 Cabriolet, M52 engine BK81, this is the VIN number, VIN ends: ET73367, the fuel pressure regulator is mounted at the end of the injector rail, but I'm very confuse with the part number, as REALOEM says is: 13531436110 3.5 BAR, but you web page says is the 13531729319 3.5 BAR too, but I see this part number 0280160597 3.5 BAR on the actual fuel presure regulator installed at the car. Can you tell me wich one is the correct please, thank you for your time, have a nice day. P.D. can send you a picture of ir if is necessary.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Part number 0280160597 would be the Bosch manufacturer number for the BMW OE number 13531436110 listed here. 13531729319 is also a 3.5 bar regulator for some E36 applications, but not according to your VIN, I believe you actually need part number 13531436110. But unfortunately I can not verify non US applications.
Question Posted by a customer
My e36 is a 1995 325i but I believe it is a half year as it is OBD1 and the fuel regulator is not located on the fuel rail. It's under the car on driver's side is this the right regulator for my car?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Please contact service@fcpeuro.com with your VIN to confirm fitment details for your vehicle.
Question Posted by Tim
My BMW 540i has an upgraded 4 bar fuel filter pressure regulator. The prior part number was 13531726385 - now this says that this is a replacement, but I am only seeing this as a 3.5 Bar regulator.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
This part # is only sold as a 3.5 bar regulator as an OE replacement.
Question Posted by a customer
I'm a little confused, trying to find the correct part. I have been searching for replacement parts here https://bimmercat.com and found this p/n 13531436110. Your website finds this is NOT the correct part for my '98 E36 328i, and is suggesting I use p/n 13531729319 instead (which is part of a 3/2-way valve configuration that I found here https://bimmercat.com/bmw/en/search/selectCar/E36/Lim/BMW+328i/USA/13_1729). Searching by my VIN on that site shows that 13531729319 would be the correct p/n, but it's conflicting with my Haynes manual (which doesn't indicate a fuel control valve like p/n 13311740281). Just want to order the correct part before tearing apart the fuel rail on my car. Thanks in advance!
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
13531729319 is the fuel pressure regulator you want for an E36 328i with the 3/2 valve. Some E36 328i's (predominantly Euro spec and international model cars) use 13531436110 but only when the fuel pressure regulator is mounted to the fuel rail. Haynes is probably talking about this information in general and not being specific to production date, production splits, or market-specific fitment. If your BMW has the 3/2 valve you 100% need 13531729319 for the fuel pressure regulator.
Question Posted by a customer
I am trying to replace fuel components and have found that my current Bosche part number 0280160504, installed by the previous owner is now obsolete. To match what they've installed I need a 3.5 bar FPR that fits an OEM m50nv rail. Is this the correct direct replacement?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Yes, this is a direct replacement.
Question Posted by a customer
Will this fit a 1993 325i which is the old 1992 e30 model? It doesnt have the same mounting bracket as the original black one. Any thoughts?
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
No, the mounting on these is completely different then the unit suited for the E30's, you would need part number 13531711541.
Question Posted by a customer
I have a 95 bmw 540i. This part is supposed to cross over and fit? Or supercede part#0280160504.It does not. The nipples are different sizes.only by 1.5mm. But enough that thet dont fit. So you need to adjust your chart. 597 is 9mm 504 os 7mm.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Bosch fuel pressure regulator 0280160504 (BMW OE# 13531726385) was discontinued on 1/2010. Unfortunately, the option is simply no longer available either from BMW or Bosch. It was replaced with 0280160597 (BMW OE# 13531436110). While the specs are slightly off the regulator itself internally is the same. This is the only option available for earlier production vehicles at this time.
Question Posted by a customer
I purchased this for my 2003 E39 540. The website says it fits my car. However further investigation seems to indicate that the later E39 540 series had the pressure regulator as part of the fuel filter. Please comment.
Answer (Posted by FCP Euro Products Team)
Correct. On models built after 9/1998 the fuel pressure regulator is included with the fuel filter. However, the fuel pressure regulator itself can still be replaced on the fuel filter. Models before 9/1998 use the same fuel pressure regulator, p/n 13531436110 (0280160597) except it's located on fuel rail instead of the fuel filter.
