The front middle bolt hole is slightly off so I could not use the metal insert. I may drill it over a bit in the future so I can use it but with the rubber grommet in there (and a washer) plus the other 4 in their perfectly I am not too worried about it.Originally posted by dude8383 View PostSeems like every single one is like that lol... we've installed at least 6 of them by now.

BM1A fits the 318is. Installed one earlier this year with little fuss. I had the same issue with the bolt hole not lining up perfect, but was still able get it tightened up without opening any holes. Way nicer than an OEM one filled with rust.
Also, I was able to get it shipped from Autozone for only $153.29 due to some online 20% off on anything over $100 or something like that plus free shipping.Last edited by captain awesome; 12-11-2017, 03:03 PM.

Looks exactly like the tank I put in the rallycross ix after I smacked it on a rut, killed the pump, and tore the rusty tank removing the pump. Fun day.
My center bolt hole was also slightly off. I never installed that bolt. Whatever. Works great. I think I got mine for $180 shipped.AWD > RWD

Hey guys, just FYI rock auto has spectra tanks as well, but they are only $204 shipped instead of $224 shipped from amazon (which will be even more expensive I believe if you don't have prime).

I ordered the BM1A Spectra reproduction tank from Rock Auto for my current restoration. I'm generally against aftermarket shit, but finding a factory tank that isn't caved in or nasty inside had proved very difficult.
Side by side with the real deal you're hard pressed to complain. It does come coated in some silver finish which looks desperately out of place. I have mine powdercoated satin black along with all the other undercarriage bits and once installed it should pass for original less the drain plug.
I gave $180.78 shipped for it, powdercoat was another ~175.
