    Fuel Pump upgrades??

    My car intermittently won't start at this point. Seems to start fine when cold, but not always when warm. Fuel pump works intermittently I think so I am pondering the idea of a new fuel pump.

    Do any other e30's have larger capacity fuel pumps than the one in my '91 318is? Should I just get the same one or should I go for a fuel pump from an m3 or 325? Haven't had a chance to cross reference the part #'s yet, but I just want to make sure I don't spend the money on a new pump when it turns out there may be a better alternative out there.

    Thanks
