I have ran DIS on my car and I have the error code '4587 - heated fuel filter'. It says the possible cause is a clogged fuel filter so I have since replaced the fuel filter and cleared the fault codes, but the code keeps coming back with every diagnosis test.



DIS also recommends checking the wires/connections to the fuel heater but I can't remember seeing any obvious damage.
Any suggestions?

 

Is it possible that I would need to replace the fuel heater?

 

I have the same problem in my 2003 530da E60. what can i do?

 

Please, can anybody help me?

Thanks,

 

Many people including me have this problem with reoccuring 4587 heated filter problem. There are many posts on the internet. I did ask bmwfive used and he solved this problem by replacing fuel heater. I have not done this myself, but sure will.

 

Hi. Occasionally I am having that 4587 error code. Could you please explain me what is that fuel heater? Where is that located? Thank you.

 

the heater is clipped on the fuel filter, the black thing you see on the right, in the picture below
