Description
The Fuel Pump Module GE352 is designed as a replacement fuel delivery component for selected BMW 525i, 530i, 540i, 545i, 550i and 645Ci vehicles manufactured between approximately 2002 and 2010. The stated application covers selected 4-door models equipped with 2.5 to 4.8-litre I6 and V8 engines and specified 24–32V configurations.
A dependable fuel pump module is an essential part of a modern vehicle’s fuel delivery system. It transfers fuel from the fuel tank toward the engine and helps maintain the fuel flow required for reliable starting, acceleration, cruising, and normal engine operation. When the original fuel pump module becomes worn, weak, damaged, or unreliable, replacing it with a correctly matched component can help restore dependable fuel delivery.
Product Overview
The GE352 Fuel Pump Module is intended for selected BMW applications and can be considered as a replacement for an original fuel pump assembly that has developed a fault or reached the end of its service life.
Depending on the vehicle specification, a fuel pump module may incorporate several components, including the electric fuel pump, pump housing, fuel-level sender, fuel strainer, electrical connections, and fuel fittings. The exact configuration can vary between BMW models and engine specifications.
The BMW 5 Series and 6 Series vehicles covered by this application use different engine sizes and configurations, so confirming exact compatibility is important before purchase.

The Role of the Fuel Pump Module
The fuel pump module performs a vital function within the fuel delivery system. The electric pump draws fuel from the tank and transfers it through the fuel system toward the engine. Consistent fuel flow is required for proper engine starting and operation.
BMW engines covered by this application range from six-cylinder to larger V8 configurations. Reliable fuel delivery is therefore important during normal driving as well as acceleration and higher engine loads.
When a fuel pump begins to fail, the vehicle may develop several symptoms.
Possible signs of a faulty or worn fuel pump module include:
- Difficulty starting the engine
- Extended cranking before starting
- Intermittent starting
- Engine hesitation
- Poor acceleration
- Reduced engine performance
- Loss of power under load
- Unexpected engine stalling
- Inconsistent fuel delivery
- Unusual noise from the fuel tank
- Fuel-pressure-related problems
- Incorrect fuel-level readings where the sender is integrated
These symptoms do not always indicate a failed fuel pump. Problems with the fuel filter, wiring, electrical connectors, fuel-pressure system, relays, injectors, or other engine-management components can create similar symptoms. Proper diagnosis is recommended before replacing the pump module.
BMW Compatibility
The GE352 fuel pump module is listed for selected BMW 525i, 530i, 540i, 545i, 550i and 645Ci applications from approximately 2002 to 2010.
The stated vehicle information includes:
- Vehicle: BMW

These specifications describe the intended application. However, exact fitment should always be verified using the vehicle VIN, engine code, production date, original equipment number, and existing fuel pump configuration.
Why Replace the Fuel Pump Module?
Fuel pump modules operate regularly throughout the life of the vehicle and can experience wear through age, mileage, and normal operation. Internal pump motors, electrical contacts, pumping mechanisms, seals, strainers, and other components can eventually deteriorate.
A replacement module may be necessary when the original assembly no longer provides reliable fuel delivery.
Potential reasons for replacement include:
- Worn electric pump motor
- Reduced fuel flow
- Insufficient fuel pressure
- Intermittent pump operation
- Difficulty starting
- Engine stalling
- Poor acceleration
- Excessive pump noise
- Damaged pump housing
- Faulty fuel-level sender
- Age-related deterioration
- Electrical connection problems
Replacing the complete module can be a practical repair solution where multiple components within the original assembly have become worn or unreliable.
Benefits of a Suitable Replacement
A correctly matched fuel pump module can help restore dependable fuel delivery when the original component is faulty.
Potential benefits include:
- Reliable transfer of fuel from the tank
- Consistent fuel supply to the engine
- Replacement of a worn electric pump
- Support for normal starting when pump failure is the cause
- Potential restoration of fuel-flow performance
- Reduced risk of intermittent pump operation
- Replacement of an ageing fuel-system component
- Suitable solution for automotive repair and maintenance
- Replacement of integrated components where applicable
The actual performance of the vehicle will depend on the condition of the complete fuel system and other engine components.
Installation Considerations
Fuel pump module replacement requires access to the fuel tank and fuel delivery system. Petrol is highly flammable, so suitable safety procedures should always be followed when working with fuel-system components.
Professional installation is recommended for anyone without suitable automotive repair experience.
Before installing the GE352 module, compare it carefully with the original component. Check the physical dimensions, mounting arrangement, electrical connector, fuel connections, pump housing, and other relevant features.
It is also advisable to inspect related components, including:
- Fuel tank
- Fuel lines and hoses
- Fuel filter
- Fuel strainer
- Electrical wiring
- Electrical connectors
- Fuel-level sender
- Pump mounting components
- Seals and sealing rings
- Fuel-system connections
Any damaged, worn, or contaminated components should be repaired or replaced as necessary.
Important Fitment Information
The GE352 is listed for selected BMW 525i, 530i, 540i, 545i, 550i and 645Ci applications from 2002 to 2010. However, not every vehicle within these model ranges will necessarily use the same fuel pump module.
BMW vehicles can have differences based on engine type, production date, chassis, market specification, fuel-system design, and factory equipment. Buyers should therefore verify exact compatibility before ordering.
Where available, compare:
- Vehicle make and model
- 525i, 530i, 540i, 545i, 550i or 645Ci specification
- E60, E61 or E63 chassis
- Model year
- Production date
- Engine size
- Engine code
- I6 or V8 configuration
- VIN
- Original equipment-OE part number
- Electrical connector
- Pump dimensions
- Outlet configuration
- Mounting arrangement
- Existing fuel pump module
- GE352 reference
Comparing the replacement component with the original pump assembly is strongly recommended before purchase.
Fuel System Maintenance
Maintaining the fuel system can help support dependable vehicle operation. Fuel filters and other serviceable components should be inspected and replaced according to the applicable maintenance requirements.
If the BMW develops starting difficulties, hesitation, stalling, or loss of power, the complete fuel system should be inspected. Testing fuel pressure, electrical supply, pump operation, wiring, filters, and related components can help determine whether the pump is actually responsible.
A replacement module should ideally be installed after diagnosis confirms that the existing component is defective.
