shocker outer casing/ strut

[rossd]

I've bought new shockers for the front and when come to change them i've found that the last shocker insert was held in with expandofoam (SP).

So now i need new casings, think there also known as struts

who ever gave you that price for the pair I'd hold them to it as they are in actual fact £444 each at retail from BMW.

They are expensive because as the car has been out of production for 15 years or so, the cost of producing items in a small quantity for out of production cars is unfortunately huge.

another example the plastic heater surround panel for the E30 with OBC is £95 for RHD drive cars and £180 for LHD cars

Jaffro, never thought of that will speak to my mechanic
