as the title says really! i want to change the leads as i have a slight miss on damp mornings so think a lead maybe causing this. its an'88 325i

Any advice on brands to use and/or places to get them.

Sorry if this has already been asked but i couldnt see anything about it!

I've never come across a dud OEM BMW lead yet. All my E30s are on their original leads, and any that I've actually tested have been well within their original spec.
Original BMW (Beru, in all the cases I can remember ), are best.
