Get yourself a used one from a breaker. Put a wanted post up in the wanted section, there are a good few members on here who break a lot of e30s and a lot of members have garages full of bits, I'm sure one might be able to express deliver it.

Which pump ?

Inside fuel tank or outside? There is a price difference between the two?

Inside pump, original pump had soldered terminals and replacement pump had different size threaded terminals but managed to fabricate secure connections.

That seems a good price for a inside pump.

£69 is a decent price for a new pump. Might as well buy a new one you know where you stand then. Otherwise would just be fitting a knackered 2nd hand one.
