Buy a new one... these are prone for giving problems

Yes a new one.. not after a second hand item.

Mine has failed yesterday..

Have found it online at oembimmerparts for $77.85usd but wanted to get it locally if possible.

Have just driven 3285km since the 27th of Dec, so something was bound to pop up, car has been awesome the whole time however.

If your going to do it yourself, try Euro Italian our sponsor, McMillans or BM Workshop in Grey Lynn for the parts. Also make sure you use good quality torx sockets otherwise you'll end up having to remove the plenum chamber. It's quite easy with the right tools, can turn to crap quite easy as well.

Cool, thanks.

I've moved to queenstown otherwise id bring it in..

Have found a great tutorial about it that Edwin made on bimmerforums.

Also any recommendations for a good specialist down here?

Can't find any, although there is a merc and range rover specialist failing that.

Don't mind heading through to Alex/Cromwell etc. Dunedin maybe.

Still need to find that little oil leak..

Don't know of anyone down that way.. I'm sure one of the mainlanders will chime in with a recommendation. It might mean travelling a fair way though.
