Hi, how much would a new e30 m3 scuttle pannel cost to be replaced and painted? I need a rough guide, thanks.

The scuttle is about £60 from BMW IIRC, it is a pretty big job so i would say £400-£600.

Simon had his done a while back PM him and see how much it cost.

Thanks, just wanted a rough guide. Do you know when the timing chain and tensioners need to changed?

If its the same price as a regular E30 scuttle panel then it was about 35 pounds at the end of last year.

Iirc they use the E36 M3 tensioner as a replacement?
