Genuine BMW Metal Fuel Tank 81L - 16111178947 - E34 & E34 M5

This part is listed by BMW as BMW part number 16111178947 (16-11-1-178-947) and is described as Genuine BMW Metal Fuel Tank (81L / 21.3 gallons) for E34 5-Series sedan and wagon, including the US production E34 M5 3.6 liter sedan. These models were offered in 1989, 1990, 1991, 1992, 1993, 1994, and 1995. 

Has your E34 5 Series developed a leaking fuel tank? Has the gas tank rusted through? If that's the case, you are looking at a replacement gas tank. Using a used / junk yard gas tank may not be the best long term solution. If your E34 5 series is otherwise in good condition, investing in a new Genuine BMW gas tank can reset the clock on this very critical component for 30+ years. 

This is an authentic, new BMW part, the same you would be able to order from a dealership, but priced less and available to be shipped directly to your home or mechanic. 

This gas tank is quite large in size, so we do our best to ship it responsibly and safely. The cost for UPS Ground is not insignificant, but we have shipped these tanks many times and this is the best way.
