[QUOTE="1996E36328i, post: 104174, member: 2078"] tyke, Yes, I did run thru the section. Seems Auto Bavaria pricing on all those items are very expensive. The same quote I got from Stuttgart comes up to $2.7k as compared to $6.5k from Auto Bavaria. I also went to Stuttgard myself to see those parts, seem that not everything is BMW original. Some are OEM. I'm not too sure how to tell between OEM and Originals but I'll just make do with the BMW sticker there. This is what I found from Stuttgart: - Water pump - OEM - Thermostat - OEM - All the radiator water hose - OEM - Radiator expansion tank - behr brand or something like that - Radiator cap - not sure - Coolant sensor - not sure - Timing chain(all 3) - original(had bmw sticker and markings/stamping, he told me it's original so more expensive than the oem one which he showed me as well) - Timing chain tensioner - not sure - Crankshaft sprocket - original - Cylinder head gasket set - I think the brand is Gozet or something, came in a yellow flat pack box which is sealed, two packing, one for upper gasket and one for lower. - Cylinder head bolt set - not sure So you all reckon I should get from Stuttgart? Every single item I compared with Auto Bavaria, its nearly double or more. [/QUOTE]
