Hello, I am looking for a fuel pump to restore a 1982 e28 525i. Is there anywhere else that sells this product or can I choose another compatible product? Thanks.

Which pump? Many people eliminate the inline pump and replace the in-tank pump with a high pressure version. This requires modifying some of the piping but ends up leaving you with a cheaper and simpler 1 pump solution. You can search this site for multiple write-ups on the procedure.

Euro cars below 535's didn't come with an in tank pump. Just what we call the main pump.
