Indeed. I expected him to know it from memory, along with every other BMW part number.

To find parts:
http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/

To find if they are available from a dealer (checks all around the country)
http://www.cooper-bmw-parts.co.uk/

I did find a brilliant website for exploded diagrams etc. but it must have saved it on my PC.

James i have you on my list of jobs to test my brothers car but no ring, but i do know about the ring i will see what is here when i see you.
The house number starts 01474 do you have that?My place the number starts 0208 i dont know what numbers he gave you. The other number is a hub phone but i cant find the handset i think maybe dad threw it in the garden drunk.Anyway i will send you the number if you dont have it.
My dad has gone all MI6 CIA and taken a satalite phone with him if you need to speak to him over there and its urgent i can get you that number

I left for a bit due to rather large family health related issues

missed you all xxxxx

(P.S you better have missed me too!!!)

Hope everything's ok with you and yours, I did think about sending a text but heard you were in Cornwall and so figured it probably wouldn't reach you before you got back to civilisation anyway.

To be honest even where I do still bother I often wonder why. Take last night for example. I must have spent half an hour creating that huge post about E39's for Saytan.

He didn't even bother to acknowledge it - he posted in the thread since I said it but only to address hurfdurf. I'm not after a medal or something but just some acknowledgement i didn't just waste 30 minutes of my life for nothing wouldnt go amiss.

Maybe it's got to the stage where you're so ubiquitous and informative on BMW related matters that while the information may be used the source fades into the background? In other words you're simply expected to provide this level of detail and so you've unintentionally created a situation where some people would only perhaps notice your absence, not your presence.

I genuinely doubt the guy even read it.
