I just found out these fuel tanks were equiped on e30m3's. I assume they are available since it shows up on bmw's online parts store. Would be cool to extend the range of our cars a little.

They were available in Alpina and Hartge cars as well. Fill-ups in my H23 usually run over $80 dollars but my gas gauge doesn't move for a week :)

Tischer lists it. http://www.trademotion.com/partlocat...&siteid=214672

This would be very handy for me, thanks for the heads up! You gents that have or have had it, do you see any issues with retrofitting it to a standard 325?

Well, the link doesn't work, cut and paste the number.

Eh, nevermind...doesn't look like the filler pipe is available. :(

I almost bought an Alpina one off a friend for 70 bucks 2 years ago... shoulda done it.

How hard is it to swap out the gas tank?

No, this fits in your trunk. so you have 2 tanks. Adds about 5 more gallons of gas.

BTW heres some pics I found of the alpina. These are super rare.

Drop the driveline and rear subframe. After that, its cake. ;)
