Silver cylinder sounds like a fuel filter, at least that's what it looks like on the 325/328's. But they're located further back and on the driver's side on those models. Not sure about the 318, better check with realoem.

silver cylinder near the headlight would be the evaporator canister for the AC, no?

Here's the diagram from REALOEM and what the fuel vapor return looks like. (the canister does not show a part#) but it's located behind driv side headlight. It's usually a black plastic canister about the size of a small coffee can. I'd be checking these and the small rubber fuel lines all around the engine compartment.  |

Thanks, I found the diagram and part number for the canister on another RealOEM section. I'll check this today. Thanks, c1apton.

Front panel
The front panel #21 is all bolt on. I just replace mine on my 93 with the later 96-99 model and updated the grilles at the same time. |

Well, they shouldn't. After almost eight years here, I should be able to say such things. The other day I used it in a real-life conversation and somebody said "Did you hear that? Daniel said 'ya'll.'" [sigh] |

Oh, my dad got a 2001 530i w/ Sport Package. That brings the immediate family's fleet to (in order of appearance): 1999 Ford F-150 1993 318is 2000 528i 1984 318i 2001 530i My cousin has that 1995 M3. Don't worry, they'll be pics soon... Oh, and I found that damn canister. Finally. For future reference, it on the driver's side next to the engine, laying on it's side in the M42 engine bay.
