My 1988 prefacelift 325i cabriolet has a 7.5A fuse. This was in the car when I got it 11 years ago.

To many 15A fuses to be a coincidence by the looks of it. Can't be too many amateur mechanics out there.

7.5a in my chromie, because that's what Dan told me to put in after converting the car from carb (no fuel pump) to the M52 setup with standard E30 in-tank fuel pump
