Yes except for 41112491298. I was able to find it on ebay. Should be here in a few weeks. I'm just wondering how difficult it will be to move the battery cable as mine is a 1995 m3
Anyone have pics of the brackets mounted before the tank was installed?
I plan on getting this done over the winter.

I was able to extend my cables and just put the junction box on the fender like other models. I used metal cable connectors from Home Depot that screw onto the cables and then heat shrunk them. It was not working to try and solder those big cables. Or there's a good custom auto electrical supply company named CE Auto Electric that makes custom upgraded battery cables and everything electric for your car and you could just do a whole new battery cable and wiring if you really want to beef it up as well.

Sweet. What did you use to move the battery wires?

Around the rear of the engine to the metal coolant pipe. I used a hose coupler to extend it some if I remember right.

Well mine goes along the firewall the back of the engine. I think thats inevitable as the tank connection comes out right there at the motor and firewall.

Its just an overflow. Its just to atmosphere.

There is less than a foot difference running it around the front or back to/from the stock hard pipe. I did it both ways before changing to the Euro hard pipe that runs around the back. The euro hard pipe does not fit well around the back since it’s made for a different block.
Yes, I did that for a while. The outlet on the stock hard pipe is a bit towards the front of the engine so if you make a gentle turn to go around the back, it’s not much shorter than going around the front. Still, it is shorter and I preferred going around the back of the motor. I did all this about 12 years ago so you might want to double check with a tape measure. I have been using the Euro hard pipe for 10 years now

Why doesnt someone make a euro style hardpipe to adapt euro tanks to US blocks. I would for sure buy one...

I have often thought someone could bend a pipe to fit. I never tried. I can say the Euro pipe does not fit very well.
I may end up installing it the way Max Psi did on my s54 swap.

Although I had already bought the metal pipe as part of the BimmerWorld kit, I also came to that conclusion based on what others had reported. After some initial skepticism I instead went with the crossover hose between the head and firewall, which turned out to be an excellent solution. This has been rock solid for several years now. Since mine's a '96 I didn't have to deal with the battery jump terminal relocation issue.

Anyone looking for the two brackets (41112491298 and 41122256492) in the US? Decided to go with an OEM-location solution instead and have the two brackets left over. $45 shipped for both. PM me!
Sort of got it placed, but not in the oem location.

i have brand new brackets in my garage, as well as the NLA hard pipe that runs along the underside of the intake and around back of the block. i was hoping to one day have a shop re-produce these.
