Fuel Sender

Hi there - I had an issue with my 1990 325i where it was running fine when cold, but would then start to misfire and lose power when the engine got up to temperature. From a bit of googling this seemed to indicate that the fuel pump was faulty. The external one was changed a couple of years ago so I...

Re: Price Please

Ah sorry if I wasn't clear, it's just the fuel pump that sits in the tank that I need, not the actual tank.

Hopefully that's available

325i More Door Restoration

Probably cheating a bit, but I've recently sent my 325i off for a resto. I bought it about 8 years ago with a broken cambelt. Lack of time and young kids meant that I didn't get round to it. I acquired a new cylinder head (from Morats FUCR) some years ago, and sent it away to Mid Beds Vehicle Restor...

Classic Car Weekly E30 - E69 VMW

P78 of this weeks Classic Car Weekly has a "The way we were" picture from 1991 - they picked a Tech 1 Sport E69VMW as a car worth mentioning.

It's only showing as only having been SORN since 2014. Anyone on here got it?
