On the M3, there is a fuel tank between rear seats and the boot. Is this rare or not?
I'll try and get a pic up if it helps.
Cheers,

Rare fuel tank?

Not as rare as the alpina long range aluminium tank i sold si13. I would say its quite rare on uk M3's though.

Dunno how "rare", but I have one in my car...It's a bugger to fill, though!!

How easy is it to fit a bigger fuel tank to the 318is... whats the capacity of the standard tank? Is it worth it?

6-cyl cars and all Tourings had 63ltr tanks in contrast to the smaller 55ltr tank. 2 gallon difference (nearly).JohnnyBlazE wrote:How easy is it to fit a bigger fuel tank to the 318is... whats the capacity of the standard tank? Is it worth it?
This is why I no longer drive an E30......

According to Mr. Everett's restoration bible all 2.3M3's had a standard 55litre tank with an additional 15litre supplementary tank in the boot.
Anyone who's not got the book should pick up a copy - ISBN 1 85520 6781 Brooklands Books - it really is excellent.

The alpina one only has a filler hole and breather but that M3 one looks to have a level sensor aswell?
