cheers mate that has helped
just one more thing if you could help
my original head bolts are the standard hexagon shape kind but when i went and got a set of new ones both the parts shop and the bmw dealer ship told me i should have torx ones instead as they have super-seeded the hex shape ..... is this correct??
thanks again
