YES!!!

At least for my '83 TQC it worked perfectly.
I posted this back about  March.

  I imagine that your car would use the same accumulator as mine, and I don't
recall the series of the BMW, but I think there was only one option anyway.
 BTW I got mine from Bavarian Motorsports or something like that in
Portsmouth NH for $69.00 mail order, plus shipping. It may have been a sale
price, some of their other stuff seemed expensive. Usual disclaimers...

Maybe I should have bought two.
