hey guys just thought id share with the M40 community, i was after high lighted gasket as mine was non existent but Cotswold BMW said it wasn't available :( anyway i was at my local dealership for other parts so i asked if they could look into it as i wasn't convinced a part like that wouldn't be available. well few days later i got a call saying they found a new part no. for it :D and that it was a fiver but id rather have that than faf around making a new one.

So the new part number for highlighted one is 11 14 1 734 793.

hope that helps any one that was stuck like i was.(told Cotswold about the new number too)

A fiver for a small paper gasket?

They really are robbing bastards. Frosties packet, scalpel and a ball bearing to form the bolt holes. I'd spend an hour doing that NOT to give BMW five quid for a 5p gasket.

Cheers for update though.
