The one from a 535i e34 iirc. I'll just check though. Got one from Cotswold when I did my conversion

Yep straight swap, although getting the plastic grommet from the old cable out of the bulkhead was a pain from memory!

Heres a link to my thread where I ordered the cable and clip from Cotswold, prices and part numbers in there :)

8) I always struggled with that, however i did my tourings last week and it popped out really easy with a screw driver and a bit of wiggling. Was the original too 8)

Lucky Me

Will get one ordered, will check ecp first
