I am having the same problems with my 1990 325i. Yours is older and has a different fuel injection system than mine, but you may want to check out my thread. It could be a number of things. I think mine is leading to a fuel pump, fuel pump relay, DME, or DME relay. I'm not sure if it works the same way, but my CEL was throwing a coolant temp sensor code and EVERYONE was certain it was the culprit, so you may want to check that. Like I said, different injection systems, so I may not know what I am talking about, but may be worth looking into. Good luck!
