I'm about to order a fuel pump for my 1979 635csi (M90 L-Jetronic). Facts:
-Have removed old one which is called 0580464013.
-RealOEM suggests 16141178751 but at the same time says "Only in conjunction with pre-supply pump" but there is no in-tank pump in my car.
I lean towards a BOSCH 580464070 or equivalent that gives 3 bar and 130 liters / hour. Is this a correct spec?
Within which limits should you be with pressure and flow for it to work well in this car?
Thanks'

I'm not sure what is required pump pressure but 3 bar may be low. The M30B34 fpr is usually 3 bar so I would think you need to go above the regulator set point. I know you have M90 but they were very similar setup. Check your fpr rating for confirmation as it may be 2.5 bar
Required volume is +1 liter per minute out of the fpr outlet. 130 l/hr is double so that's good

Thank you for Ralph for your input. RealOEM says I have the 13531263782 FPR which is 2,5 bar. Actually I have a spare BOSCH pump 0580254909 with 5 bar and 148 liters / hour. What are the risks going to high on these values?

I wouldn't do it. Risks are blown fpr to blown hoses and vehicle fire. Often called a carbeque here in Cali

Wow, don't want that . Maybe the BOSCH with 3 bar and 130 liters / hour is a good option after all. When searching for equivalents to 0580464013, I get a couple of 4 bar options as well. One is MAGNETI MARELLI 313011300065 with 120 liters / hour.
