Title: Another noob question - Ignition coils
Post by: El-Kanal on April 28, 2009, 12:04:42 PM

Hey guys, could somebody tell me the diferences between the Cam Covers on the E36 and E30 M42s? I have an E36, and want to get a second cover for paint and do the COP conversion on it, but only found an E30 one and withou pictures but for a good price... ¨

Thnaks, and sorry for my Bad English, I´m from central europe...
