I did both of mine about 4 months ago.
Lived with it for so long and then decided to bite the bullet!!

Probably good that I had otherwise more panic would have ensued.

Thanks. For clarification that item number is the drivers side. just saying in case anyone else is looking for the passenger one like me - Ive emailed them to ask if they have it
Can anyone vouch for that part from that seller?

Thanks

Sorry Smee,  I did it in a rush.

I can't vouch for it but I can say from experience that the original BMW part is rubbish ☺

I have bought both Febi and Meyle carriers and found the Meyle one to be a better fit and feel. The Febi only lasted 14 months, the Meyles have done 2 years and counting. Just my experience.
