Hi all, after my last mot the mech said I could probably do with some new handbrake cables, fair enough I thought.

I was just wondering if BMW still sell them and for how much? (1983 325i sport coupe)

Some went on ebay for a grand total of £48.50, alot or not?

Correct

ECP sell them around this price but IIRC they are only around that much from BMW.

How come you have a 1983 325i - they were introduced in 1985? :?

1, Use the ETK to get the part number here - http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E30/
2, Enter part number with no gaps where it says ' part number ' here - http://www.cooper-bmw-parts.co.uk/
3, Click the 'go' tab
4, Review the current dealer price which includes VAT
5, Shout out load an expletive about how can BMW charge so much, or on rare occasions, say " that's reasonable"
