Are "FTE" an OEM quality or cheaper aftermarket?

Many thanks

Considered ''premium aftermarket'' by most mate, I'd have no problem fitting their stuff to mine

Thankyou bud :) Just called our local branch of ECP and told that you don't do them (I'm looking for an E36 328i Clutch Master cylinder reg N264 MWS) Can you confirm this is true mate? Just seems odd as I thought it would be a fairly regular part :(

EDIT: Just checked on the website and 2 choices are listed either a 136110160 or a 136110260.

Same 2 choices on the cpfl website. How do I tell which I need?

I don't have and old one to compare to (well the broken one coming out is an E36M3Evo one)


Many thanks

Andy

£45 at CP4L, so don't forget to buy another £5 worth, to bump the order up to £50, enter the discount code, and get your £5 back again!
