They look like the right ones. Has anyone tried them?


As I have grown older, I've learned that pleasing everybody is impossible, but pissing everyone off is a piece of cake.

Only the famous female (fm the beemerboneyard.com types of usa) , never changed the male in the pump and it's been 5 years now. Last year during the pump recall changed the o-ring. So mine and 4 others that i know have the oem male plastic and the female metallic.

That looks good, $39.95 but not sure about the shipping costs.

There is a good write up with pictures here http://www.i-bmw.com/showthread.php?t=36867

Shipping is $55  :o

We need a European supplier!
The auto generated postage might not be correct. When I bought mine, I paid the asking price and they refunded me the correct amount after they posted the bits. They didn't need any prompting and it was a nice surprise. Quality crowd.
Have you thought about a group buy to minimise postage costs?
Cheers, Steve
