contact mick by PM (magpie). I'm sure he had a few for sale recently or search the parts for sale section. :)

Are you looking for the steel filler pipe or the hose that joins the pipe to the tank? Both can cause leaks. The £245 item is the steel pipe.

I don't know if these have gone up in price since April this year but I paid £29.12 including vat for mine from Sytners Solihull. Part number 16121180402 is common to both M3 and other e30's.

The hose for the M3 extra tank was £24.07 plus vat and the filler flap rubber boot was £18.15 plus vat.
