The BMW filler neck, once the cap retaining ring is removed, is 63mm outside diameter and 55mm inside.

Chris, I've not yet seen this assembly. Assuming pipe is required to fit over the existing fitting, then please confirm that 63mm ID pipe required to fit a remote filler, or does the BMW fitting remove meaning 55mm ID is required?
Thanks, Steve

Also Chris, Am I best to get a cap with a mounting that screws to the bodywork (not sure how this will work on curved panels) or something that has a rubber seal where the neck domes through the body (like a Mini)

Thanks Bob.

Hi Bob. We have a small mould that produces an inset panel that will take a large Monza cap on a curved wing.

Hi Steve. The Z3 has a plastic tank and filler neck. The filler neck is fitted with a steel ring which the cap locks into. The ring can be removed with a pair of mole grips after drilling out one pop rivet from a small retaining strap. This leaves you with a neck that is 63mm OD and 55mm ID.

CBS have sold some of our Kobra customers a "kit" of parts to extend the filler neck, which I believe consists of flexi hose, an alloy sleeve that fits inside the Z3 neck, epoxy to glue the sleeve in, hose clips, a cap of your choice.
