Need a new camshaft for M40 engine fairly quick, have been quoted £250 mark from BMW, just looking for some advice on prices etc, where have other people purchased from?

Any help appreciated

you sure it is just the camshaft? ECP sell them for around £50 I think but you will probably need new hydraulic lifters and stuff.

Might be worth finding a nice 2nd hand m40 head - if there is such a thing!
