Need a pair of replacements for a E30 M3 front caliper and see Bimmerworld in the USA sells a pair for about £56 plus all the post and tax.
Anyone else sell these here in the UK or Europe ? Classic Heroes has them at the comical price of nearly £300, but I don't fancy them that much. Was thinking someone in Germany must make some ?

BR don't seem to sell any front piston for the M3, so no stainless alternative either.
Brakeparts.co.uk have a plain steel version for £17 each. Just kinda bugs me they are £55 in the US which would be worth the extra cost over cheap parts with no coating that start rusting again from day one.
Was hoping someone in Euro land would be making them, as I guess they fit a few other BMWs ?

Give your standard piston to a machinist and ask for two the same in stainless :D
