Just got myself another e30 :D its in great condition 6 cassette player and everything =P, however when driving around corners/roundabouts there seems to be a fuel surge when the car's straitening up again.

Would i be right in thinking it could be the in tank fuel pump thats gone?

it's been happening from over a half tank to just over the reserve. Not sure when it had a fuel filter done, Prob a good cheaper place to start with replacing that?
