BMW AFM's
Lately, someone (you have to pardon me...I can't seem to find my PM's on this site) asked me to contact my neighbor about '84-'91 BMW 325 AFM's......
Well, he thought it was kind of funny at first...........then he said something about the Bosch meters and how someone had too much time on their hands..........
However.........My neighbor deals in mostly 5 & 7 series in that year range. He will be looking out for any 3 series he comes across.
Hope this helps.

That somebody was me.
I don't get it... what about too much time on their hands? ...about how I figured out that the BMW has the same fuel injection?
ok, so I used to own a 1989 BMW 325i about 2 years ago. So what? I do my own engine work and I'm like, oh, this looks just like my 280zx's AFM. Then someone else on a 510 forum confirmed that they used the BMW AFM on their custom L20b fuel injection. (200SX wiring harness) now that's some custom work!
Of course, same parts, 3 times the price. Got rid of the BMW and got an Altima. Much better car for the money.

I am also a VW enthusiast and after looking at the AFM on the 81 280ZX that I am about to pick up I noticed that they use the same stupid flapper style AFM that VW uses on their Digifant fuel injection system. I'm not sure if the pin orientation is the same but I could find out easily if someone had the pin out for the 280.
FYI some of the Porsches use the same AFM. Has anyone thought or converted their "barn door" meter to a traditional "hot wire" AFM?
