Hi

I have got the same problem with a damaged breather hose.
Car suddenly refuses to start do you think this could be related?

Is this covered under an extended warranty?

Yes it is. Well it was for me a few months ago when they replaced mine.

Removed the existing tank and fitted the replacement tank in 3 hrs.

Couldn't take any pictures as i did it at work where we are not allowed to use cameras due to prototype vehicles.

Wish i removed the tank to do the pipe in the first place as its so much easier for the extra bit of additional work required to take the prop and exhaust off.

did you have to take off the drive shaft and take off the hand brake line?

Yup!

I remember you doing this at Ray's... what an absolute pig of a job it was. Whoever at BMW decided that a saddle type fuel tank was a good idea, was a plank!
