Hi all, after my last mot the mech said I could probably do with some new handbrake cables, fair enough I thought.
I was just wondering if BMW still sell them and for how much? (1983 325i sport coupe)
Some went on ebay for a grand total of £48.50, alot or not?

Correct
ECP sell them around this price but IIRC they are only around that much from BMW.

How come you have a 1983 325i - they were introduced in 1985?
