From any BMW dealer - though I'm not sure they'll sell you M-Parts unless you have the V5 / Chassis No / Reg Plate etc etc.

Custom made, or i used a company called Ivor Searle to source mine

I was kind of hoping it wasnt a dealer only part but suppose it makes sense ,may have to be a ebay secondhand one if the steeler thinks they are worth a million pounds each ,the engine is still in the car at the min its a friends he`s a bit pissed off that the engine has died and it looks like an uneco repair really but to me it could be cheap engine ,thanks.

Don't these things have to be within a weight tolerance with the other 5? Keep it all balanced and ting...

It will more than likely be within tolerance. I doubt even m engines are blueprinted, they will all be within a certain range.
