Fuel tank

Since the back end is off and my tank is showing signs off corrosion, i might replace it.

Anybody got links to a good breaker who might have an E34 M5 Fuel tank, and is it the same tank as the rest of the range?

Try infinicar (should be able to google them etc..)
they break M5's...

M5's are generally fitted with the long range tank which is larger
than the standard models.

Regards,


Alan.

The tank in my Alpina was in pretty poor condition. Being in the states it was going to be difficult to find a 90L tank. A local shop repaired/reconditioned my tank to like new for 1/3 the cost of a new one. It was a shop that also rebuilds radiators.
