As the title suggests.... went to the dealer and asked but the parts manager wasnt to sure, we then went about look for an M3 to try the swap around, no joy in finding one.

Can someone if no one knows try swaping the caps over i.e. maybe like Afif and any one of you M3 boys...

Cheers Team

M3 one fits my 330i, So I guess you should be alright.

And I think Fas, had changed his before too.

lol sure ... i was planning on hiding my 4 pot engine to give it some pride amongst m3 ;). Ahh well.

Im getting a bit fed up with the car at the moment. Waiting for some free time so i can get around to sorting out a few lil things that are bugging me.

Also I bought new projector indicators (Ca's prices have gone up! so i had to get them from somewhere else cos didnt have the xtra £20 that week.) Neways one doesnt seem to fit right :(. Ill show you guys at the meet.

had to get new ones because one was taken out when mum crashed her :(. Yea theres one guy at my local dealers who is a right dick. I shut him up by saying how stupid he was being because i could just phone up another bmw parts department and they wouldnt even ask what model i had, even if they did id just say the right model.
