Fuel filter confusion

2009 MINI Clubman non-turbo.

Thanks for you help, I am new to MINIs and sorting this one out. I plan to replace the filters. Two of the local parts store states the filter is in the tank and not replicable. One has on for $90. I have seen YouTube videos accessing it from under the passenger rear seat on hatch back model to change it. On the Clubman is the fuel filter accessed the same as with the other 2009 MINIs? Where have you bought fuel filters for yours? $90 seems high for a fuel filter. Anyone have a part number?

Outmotoring.com, waymotorworks.com, detriottuned.com, ecstuning.com. For big stuff that you would like a lifetime warranty for fcpeuro.com Nothing against ecs, but I try to order from the first 3 to support small business.

Edited to add: I just checked the workshop manuals in ISTA, the Clubman fuel filter replacement procedures are identical to the hardtop.

I generally avoid parts stores. Fuel filter replacement is a relatively simple job, there are a few youtube videos out there and a pretty good tutorial right here on NAM:

You can find part numbers on Real OEM (11252754870):

I'd buy it through FCP Euro for the price, the warranty, the absolutely amazing quick shipping, and because it is not ECS.

Thanks for the help, just ordered the fuel filter from FCP Euro. Also ordered some wipers to qualify for free shipping.

This would be the correct one for a Clubman.
