Can you guys refresh my memory on something. My fuel gauge isnt accurate (~1/2 tank actually means empty) and I dont want to run it dry, but is it 12.5 gallons for the early models and 14.5 for late models? Ive been filling up around 10 gallons because Im still trying to figure out what kind of mpg the M52 does, which so far has been better than the M20 :)

Wow you and me are in the exact same boat! mine goes a little over 13 and PO used the tank as a jack stand so i think its the other way around

I have one single style 5 (one piece) 16x8 5x120 got it to be a spare but I don't need it any more. I'm just trying to get back what I bought it for, $45. I'm bringing it to bimmerfest as well. Let me know if you want it.

Anybody got a spare set of Ground Control spring hats?
Their design is way better than I.E., it actually serves a purpose.

13 gallons sounds about right for early model. I get 200 miles per tank city driving. M20

Got off work early so I could try and get this running to make it to Bfest.

Paper clipped the center relay (front to back as I've read to do so) turned the ignition to on and I could audible hear what sounded like the fuel pump priming... Continuously. Still no crank. I did the ole "whack the fuel pump housing" trick and nothing. Still pointing towards a bad CPS and now a relay? I want to go to bimmerfest! *sigh*

if the fuel pump is priming then you don't have to hit it. Check to see if the injectors are clicking and check for spark without killing yourself.

I remember when Victor sold those to Castros, everyone just brushed them off and never showed interest.
