Are they proper BMW items?

There used to be a company selling these a few years ago, don't see them much anymore thankfully.

Great way to cook the brakes.

you can´t use the td block.
Oil squirters can be retrofitted to any m20 block.
With great challenges comes great engineering.

Eh, it's NOT a switch - it has a much more important function.
Put it back, before you burn your car to a crisp!!

I have a original BMW alarm or at least i think it is.
Its mounted above the wheel arch and it has a key to turn on or off.
Original or replacement
