Hi all,
Sorting my 318is out at the moment going through a major service before the major work starts. Doing a brae bleed found 3 of my nipples completely rounded off was wondering if anyone new the size of these on our cars as im pretty sure its the same setup on cars with rear discs.
Thanks in advanced
Tom

I just ordered some for my e30.
I am using e36 m3 front calipers and e36 318ti rear calipers.
They only cost me a few quid from BMW and seem to be universal...
Happy days.

Paid £9.19 for 2x last week. They come with dust boots.
Was told their the same across the range.
