Make sure you do NOT get the m42 convertible pump (unless you have
an ic) they are different.

16 14 1 180 233 <-- 318i/is

16 14 1 184 022 <-- 318iC

The difference is the convertible assembly doesn't have a metal return line.

So what you're saying is we should all come to you for our parts needs? Man that's generous! Hey evereybody, lets have a big round of applause for Eric Happy Meal. What a guy!!! Parts at cost for everyone!!!

I need a fuel pump, and fuel tank, and left and right door weather strips, all new emission/vacuum hoses and a front lip spolier(not the apron)

I've got an OEM 318i/318is fuel pump that was only used for about a year (8,000 miles) that is available for sale. PM me if you need one.
