Quick Fuel Filter Question......

Quick Fuel Filter Question......
I have an '04 R53 with about 140k on the odometer.....I have done all the maintenance items on the car after I got it....even the supercharger. The cabin air filter was still OE when I got the car 2 years ago.....
My question is this, how often do you change the in-tank fuel filter? I know they say it's supposed to be a "life-time" filter.....but I've seen many filters that are basically black when removed......
So, do I leave it alone? The car runs great.....or should I just bite the bullet and put a new one in?

I changed my fuel filter out when i did my pump when it died at 123k miles. You should be able to change the filter out with half a tank with no issues. You can probably get away with more gas if you take your time when you do it. Make sure you install the seal completely when you put everything back together. It can take a bit to get it seated, but if not done correctly it will cause issues.
