Dunno what you mean by the c20xe

But with my throttle body I just sent it to Maxbore, just google it and first result will give you the info you need. He does good work.

ah ok i think by the time i have sent one from the uk and had it posted back etc with customs it wont be cheep.


what i mean about the c20xe is, i was told it isnt such a big deal to bore the housing but making the butterfly is, so i wanted to know if they used one from a different throttle body, as in taken out out of the xe body for the bmw one.

That's true, postage/customs would cost quite a bit, as for the c20xe TB, I personally have not looked into it so its hard for me to tell.


I don't know if this is in your budget but these guys seem to be in the UK:
