320 Touring Fuel Tank Change

Post Mon Jun 19, 2006 12:58 pm

I'm reasonably sure that the fuel tank is on its way out so will need to change it.

The question is do I need to drop the rear sub-frame/beam or not?

Cheers

Definitely not! Rear of prop and rear of exhaust, yes, but the beam can stay.

Part 2 of the question that I've only just thought of

Do I do it off ramps or is it a wheels off and stands job?

No straps involved. I expect you can get new bolts (and one nut) from BMW, but there's nothing special about them.

Wheels don't need to come off, and it can be done off ramps.
