Shady 0 Report post Posted August 20, 2012 Could someone tell me if there is a way to tell what motor they are from? They are from an E30 but Im not sure if from a 1.8/2/2.5 motor - and I also dont know if they are different or not? Im selling them on TM but have listed them as unknown, but I'd like to know so I have a better chance to sell them. So is there an easy way to tell? TIA.

Shady 0 Report post Posted August 22, 2012 The laptop we are using (ours broke) doesnt recognise my camera & my phone takes photos too large to upload (and this laptop so outdated I cant edit the photos to make them smaller) - so really I am in a lose-lose situation. I've checked the stickers and couldnt read them properly (faded) but will have another looksy and see if I can make out anything & post it up.
