Hi,

My '94 E30 Touring 318i is misfiring quite badly at the moment.

Cause seems to be that one of my ignition leads is split, but I don't know where to buy good replacements (genuine?) ones from. I have heard I'll be best off buying genuine, but what are peoples experiences? Are there any easy to get hold of second hand ones just as good, slightly cheaper? Looked on GSF, and they're out of stock of ignition leads.

At work 8-5, so don't really have time to pop into a dealership to pick some up, so would prefer to be able to order them online.

Cheers,

Jamie

The usual recommendation is good condition second hand, the BMW ones are good quality - but freaking expensive new!
E30 Touring 0.35 cD - more slippery than prison soap :)

Yea, they do look bloody expensive! Anybody willing to sell me some good ones, for a fair price and quick postage would be a godsend.

Stick an ad. in "parts wanted". If you're getting a full set, confirm that the pulse sensor on lead #4 is present and complete with lead.
