I have searched but cant find anything.
I have lubed the crap out of my throttle cable but it hasn't made enough difference to make it drive nice, I feel a new throttle cable is in order.
I cant find anywhere that has them in stock or even to order, even eBay only has the LHD cables... I'm going insane, where can I buy a RHD 325 throttle cable?

Tried BMW? It won't be as cheap as egay etc, but the quality will be better.

If not the dealer try Linwar BMW, they stock tons of e30 parts.

Thank you all. I'll check Monday morning and see if I can get one from one of those 3. Main stealer will be last option though... Although as you say, quality will be better

Ordered my new cable from BMW today, £26.59 inc. vat and overnight shipping from Germany.
Anyone with the same problem, hit them up :-)
