I picked one of these up at a junkyard for $50 from an old 325i. Then bit the bullet on $100 in small plastic pieces from pelican parts. After the rebuild & good greasing never had a problem again. I wouldn't suggest spending a bunch of money and time on another used unit that is bound to fail again soon. This is a high failure mechanical item in our cars due to BMW using plastic (like in the window regulators) where they should have used some type of metal. __________________ Ian |
