There has always been a fair amount of hissing when my coupe’s gas cap is removed. Just changed the fuel pump with an oe BMW unit and the hiss is completely gone. What changed?

As changing the pump should have no affect on tank vacuum - I would guess that the rubber ring has not been installed correctly:

So what is the norm, a certain amount of vacuum hissing or none at all? As for the rubber seal installation, I made sure the seal was seated properly, then the plastic lock collar was tightened to spec.

The swoosh is back. Tightened the lock collar a little more, guess it was not torqued adequately. Used another better quality torque wrench and tightened to 41 lbs.

are the fuel tank breather valves connected? Check the hoses from throttle valves to charcoal filter, especially the plastic distribution piece #14, that often breaks, http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/show...diagId=13_0354
If the valve is working properly, it is sprung closed and powered open. quick test of fuel tank breather valve: The fuel tank breather valve should have a resistance of 45 ohms ± 20 and be closed in de-energized state.
