Welcome to the zone mate, personally never heard of them, but that price for a replica is a rip off, you'd be much better off getting a second hand kit from here or e-bay from Ԛ£350+

One thing you will find out about BMWs is that almost nothing is "no longer available".
My local dealer has always obtained every obscure part I've ever asked for, always within one working day, although I've been told that some parts have to come from Germany.

That's cos BMW realise that a) most of us will buy a new BMW at some point when we can afford it - as long as they havent pissed us off or b) lots of the people who want old parts have bought a new BMW at some point and are returning customers, or have a new BM as well.

There's a simple way to find out - ask your dealer.

You must have a very close relationship with your dealer Brian - if he's willing to work on a sunday for you
