Anyone have any of these lying around? Either new or in very good condition?
BMW seem to have made them NLA, which is stupid.

Ideal! Not too sure how worn mine are yet, but always handy to have spare I guess
Those don’t look too bad either, one looks pretty minty... I’ll take em!
Didn’t receive a pm though, will shoot you a message

They look a little pointy? They should be nice and rounded.

I may be wrong... i’ve read that there are two different types apparently
E30 ones are like these with pointed teeth
And E36 ones that are more squared off (which are apparently stronger too)
Both have been made NLA which is a massive shame.. im keeping my eye out for any that pop up as we potentially have 3 engines that need new chains and sprockets!
Sooooo... if anyone has any more in decent useable condition give me a shout
