Check out Realoem. I'm sure it'll list the models. Plenty of models with an M30, although, in US, maybe 733i?

Cheers

Check FAQ's, factory parts interchange. Also, foggy recall injectors are just injectors, or there's a Bosch part # and they are/were used in many applications.

I think the pre motronic 3.3s used the same. 3.0s used one that was very close, within 1 or 2% of flow rate, may or may not pass smog if that's an issue. 82 and later, no, while they could be made to work, they aren't interchangeable.
