Long range auxillary fuel tank mounted in boot, extra 20L taking total to 110L, yes thats over £120 a fill up

Thought the standar E34 tank was "just" 80 litres? That what the handbook says for my 540i..

M5 tank is 90L, and I think thats what is fitted to this.

Or maybe its an 80L main and 30L reserve, I'll check

Hi Charlie,

I see that there is some work in progress.
How is the old lady??

I will keep reading this topic and hope that the Touring will turn into a fast old lady ;-)

Hi Martin,

Progress is slow, but its happening, the 525 is parked up at the moment, waiting till we get all parts off the white car.

So with any luck, you'll have this project finished just in time for the government to ban any car made before 2000

Glaciers aint got st on you boy
