Folks,

I have just secured a good used M20 325i AFM from a zoner which I will keep for spares.

I have an M20 320i.

I appreciate each AFM is specific to each model, but are the black bosch covers the same size between the six pots...?

The reason i ask is that the one on my cabby is cracked and split in several places...given the dent on the bonnet i suspect that an former owner has left tool on the afm and slammed shut and caused this damage!

Appreciate any help

cheers

Yeah they're the same size, but have different numbers on. Might be no harm to make a note of the old part no. before you bin it.
If it ain't broke..
Fix it till it is :)
