Just been quoted 79.01 for the part from bmw williams. Is this about rite or is there anywhere else cheaper?

cheers

Chris - sounds about right - they're not cheap however you can get them secondhand from Ebay. I've heard you need to be careful as to how they've been painted (if secondhand), as too heavy a paint layer can impede their performance. If you want new it's worth getting a quote from these people - http://www.bmminiparts.com/ - they will be cheaper than a main dealer and supply genuine BMW parts.
