OLLIE 26 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 call gavin at Euro Italian - Euro Italian he can sort you out with a new rotor, with 15% bimmersport discount his prices are almost unbeatable. yours will be the rotor with the limiter on it so make sure you specify that when you order.

ducatiss 1 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 (edited) If yours is the pre-facelift engine (the distibutor is down the left side of the engine block) then a new cap wont be expensive. I was also quoted something stupid by repco but being generous to them, most repco staff are not trained in sufficient depth to know which cap you should have for your particular model. A genuine BMW on is the way to go here and from my own experience pretty cheap. Edited April 19, 2008 by ducatiss Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

323e30 0 Report post Posted April 19, 2008 Ive got a used rotor and cap lying around that you can have for like $13.50 including postage. Ther've done a few kms but wernt miss firing or anything. But get prices from bmw and euro italia first, your probably still better off to just spend the money and get a new 1 to save hassles down the road.
