    E38 Petrol Tank

    Looking for a tank for an E38 750i, looks like pretty much anything will slot straight in bar a 750il

    Mine's fairly rusty so looking or a good rust free example, let me know what you have.
    I'm in Dublin but willing to go collect if it's good

    yeah so if you go onto bmwdriver there's a guy called jackbaur who has done an ev conversion and he had a tank going free of charge as it wasnt needed. May still have it. If you drop me a pm I might have a number for him

    Thanks Peter! It's savage alright, looking for one for aaaaaaaaaaaggggeesss and although it's looking to need more work that I'd like I just can't wait to have it fully sorted so I can waft around in luxury with a stonking V12 up front

    Nice one, sent him a PM there high on my list as next bit to get sorted so fingers crossed it's still there!

    Funny coz I sorta don't realise that I haven't posted much here yet, been doing a whopper amount of lurking since the big purchase

    Cheers hobbs much appreciated

    Just crossed my fingers and toes then checked on realoem and it's a different tank, by the sounds of it the E31 had a plastic tank so it's completely different but really thanks anyway, seriously generous offer!
