Where can I get a locking gas cap for my E30. I searched ebay and a few sites and could not find one? Any pointers?

Seeing as you have a '91 like mine, I'm sure you have noticed that there is a small pin that is on the side of the gas door. When you lock your car and your central locking works, it locks the gas door.
I have never seen a locking gas cap.Reminiscing... -

Actually, I do have a 1991 318is (build date 3/90) and it does not have a small pin on the side of the gas door. When I lock the car it does not lock the gas door. This is why I would like to find a locking gas cap. No one is stealing my gas, rather I would like to protect my car from any vandalism that might occurr by someone puting something in my gas tank. Anyone have any HELPFUL ideas on where I might get one?Originally posted by M42Technik View PostComment

There is no locking gas door. There is no pin that extends into the door, thus locking it.Comment

That is probably why it doesn't have it.Originally posted by Wishno87 View Post
I think retrofitting a central locking setup would be a nightmare. Sorry that yours doesn't have one, most 318iS cars had central locking...sorry I can't be of more help to you!Reminiscing...Comment

Yeah, I had a 2/90 318is with no central locking or a lock pin on the gas door. It was kinda nice having manual locks.
