I need a drivers side tank that is rust free mainly but let me know what you have.

I have one out of an 82. Shipping from Australia?
The photos are of the LHS petrol tank. Does yours have a hole in the top for the sender unit?

First photo is of the underside
There is very minimal surface rust on the outside of the tank.
The tank internals are completely coated with thick crud, The car was stored for years and the fuel had turned to varnish. I have used the RHS tank on my rebuild project and the internals were very clean one I removed all the residue.
thats it how much
I have both, unsure if early vs late E21 tanks are different. I thought you could get new tanks through wallet ha though.
80 B6, 81 & 82 323, 85 745i, 86 535i-all euro. 01 750iL Blk/Blk 08 335i
New ones are available for $800 he said. $800 each side, so if you needed both it would be $1,600.
Still have my fingers crossed someone might have one in the states
Have you tried junkyards on the west coast? I can think of a couple of places (below) but I have not bought anything from them for decades, so I do not know how good their service is. Worth a try, they should be able to find you a fuel tank.

Sure, Rancho Cordova ,Ca is a few miles away me and have tons of bmw recycler's there, Pick n Pull HQ is there as well.

Here I have seen many, yet pick n pull sometimes punctures the tanks as a precaution.. A good weld would be required.
From Pick n Pull Price List
197 Fuel Tank(May Be Punctrd) Car $34.99 $5.99{Core Charge}
You can also do Row 52 at pick n pull-- find the car,put down what you want from the Car and a puller will pull it and ship it too your place. You'll have to pay for the part plus core plus shipping plus puller charge plus tax and environmental fee of a couple of dollars.

We that fell threw I will keep trying but they are mostly damaged and wont sell if so.
I might do a fuel cell but i would prefer to keep weight in the center of the car and the fuel cell I want is $2500
