Hi everyone

I have just removed an E30 external fuel pump and I cannot id the attached parts (see photo) I think one is a regulator and the other is maybe a filter or accumulator? I checked the haynes manual and the on line parts page but I couldn't find a reference to them!! So any help would be welcome

Afternoon Paul

Welcome to the Forum

Take a look at www.realoem.com it is an online parts list as used by BMW Dealers 

Either search manually or put your Vin number into the search box. It will bring up your model then search the relevant sections the small exploded drawings will help identify the parts and you will have the Part Number for ordering a replacement. Also if you double click the part number you will see a list of alternates if available plus any other models they were used on

Good luck 

Dave

I used the RealOem site again using my vin and I still get the same result Part 14 listed as a an Absorber which doesn't sound right?

and Part 20 is listed as a hose? so any other suggestions would be welcome.

Here is the page n question

Morning Paul 

Have you tried looking at other sites like www.pelicanparts.com check their "Articles" section they have some great how too's with pictures I am assuming that you are trying to repair/replace a problematic fuel system here.

In 1986 I was in a Sierra Cosworth so not in Beeemers, got my first BMW in 2002 a 4.4 X5. That was swapped for another X5 a 4.6is in 2004  However I would get part numbers then google them for Cost/Supply information so replacement can be done. The absorber may be there to take pulses out of the fuel delivery (only guessing here) BMW put it there for a reason and gave it a name they understood even if we don't 😁

Hi Dave,

Thanks for your reply and recommendation. I think I have tried Pelican Parts but I will try again just to be sure. My external pump is knackered and I do have a new one but I don't want to fit it until I know what the other parts do in case they need replacing as well.  I think you are right about the Absorber  and it makes sense even if we don't understand their terminology.  In 1986 I had a V8 Rover Vitesse but loved the cossies too!!!

Just found the absorber its called a damper similar to a fuel pressure regulator

BMW 3-Series E30 (1983-1991) - Fuel & Intake - Fuel System - Fuel Pressure Regulators

You will be our "Go To Man" to interpret BMW speak into English 🤣 I would be tempted to just source the lot hoses clips everything then you will know everything is right. Don't forget BMW have a Classic Section and are often helpful on prices for classics

My old Boss used to run V8 SD1's in the late 70's early 80's

      Folding mirrors

      Morning Damion I would say yes to the software update (but a Dealer will charge £££) this should be in iDrive try My Vehicle, Vehicle Settings, Doors/Key, then scroll down to mirrors and check Fold Mirrors when Locked If that doesn't work you need help from someone with a BMW capable diagnostic package (ISTA/INPA) to check if it is in a hidden menu. Be aware BMW are making it harder and harder to tinker with the cars mainly after 2019 year so you should be OK Dave

      Centre console iPhone charger

      Morning Rob His was in the car when he brought it and is OEM (car is BMW 330e 2019) apparently works well with his iPhone but not with our daughters Android phone. You could talk to your Dealer but make sure your wallet is in a protected spot 😁 as I have know idea of cost ££££. If BMW are fitting them then there will be Retro fit kits out there from the Far east so worth looking at the Auction sites but I have no knowledge of quality other than the screen in the X5 failed and I replaced it with a complete Android unit from Ebay at less than a 1/3rd of the BMW quote. Truly plug and play allows switching between the OEM CiC and Android gives better GPS and many other programs and has been totally reliable for the last 3 years (that's killed it ) Me I don't spend long enough in the car for my phone to need charging these days 😅 While the X5 has Android Auto and Carplay I have to say like a lot of gadgets they are rarely used. Bluetooth is the only thing I see as an essential Good Luck with the search for a solution Dave

      Folding mirrors

      My X6M has folding mirrors, operated from the normal button, situated on the drivers door arm rest. They don’t fold in when I set the alarm, having read the manual, there’s a setting in the idrive to activate this function but when I scroll down the menu, this option isn’t there. Can the software be updated to add this feature, surely if the button is there and the mirrors are folding ones there must be a solution, or am I missing something completely Thanks in advance
