I know this is a bit on the cheeky side but does anyone have a old M40 camshaft they don't want that they could let me have. Head skim, gaskets etc. have used up my budget and have found that one of the cam lobes is badly worn (on the back rather than the tip?). If any one can help I would be very gratefull as my remaining cash is needed for the tax on our 325i.

ps I live near Hastings in East Sussex

try the wanted section, however most m40's are like this. Its a natural progression!
