Show original supplier description
The BMW Genuine Parts 16146755880 is a fuel transfer pump, specifically referred to as a Sucking Jet Pump, designed for E46 3 Series models. This component connects the left and right sides of the fuel tank. A common symptom of a failed Sucking Jet Pump is fuel starvation, even when the fuel gauge appears normal, due to a cracked or plugged suction tube that prevents fuel from being drawn from one side of the tank. This direct replacement pump is listed by BMW under part number 16146755880. It is engineered to fit various E46 3 Series models from 1999 to 2005, including the 320i, 323Ci, 323i, 325Ci, 325i, 325xi, 328Ci, 328i, 330Ci, 330i, and 330xi. However, it is explicitly noted that this part is not for cars equipped with the M56 SULEV Engine.
