    It's currently about £45 on Amazon, but you might find Sopers of Lincoln or Cotswold BMW slightly cheaper if you mention the forum.

    I'm not sure how much of the base you have left, but you might need a couple of self-tapping nuts that hold it on if you don't have them.

    I'd have been more than happy with 37.8mpg from either of my 3.0Sis!

    Good luck with the fun in your inspection pit. :thumbsup:
