Hi Rob, welcome to the zone. What model E30 do you have? Fuel pumps on saloon/ 2 door models are usually situated behing the rear driver side wheel. If they are on their way out they usually make a fairly high pitched and constant whine. There's not much you can do other than replace them as far as I know. You get to them by taking out rear seat squab.
