    I tried it with regular fuel injection hose and the outside was soft within a month.

    I ended up replacing it with submersible-rated Gates 27097 (3/8" ID)
    That's new to me, I will definitely look it up.
    Thanks Panici !

        I think you somehow found the second produced 318is ever. They made one car in 2/89 (VIN AD00000), and 6 in 3/89 (AD00001-AD00006).

        Pretty awesome that you're fixing it up and keeping it on the road!

            Just read this thread from the beginning- you've done a great job refreshing and enjoying the car over the years!

                Oh my God I never thought of that !
                That's pretty interesting, I will try contacting BMW Group Classic to confirm this.
                Thank you for your note :D
