Replacement Brake Caliper

Hi

Decided to overhaul the brakes on my Z4 2003 3.0 E85 M54 and noticed that the previous keeper has not only broken the bleed nipple on the left rear caliper, but also attempted to get it out with a hex bit, which obviously failed as the remains are broken off and stuck in the middle of the nipple.

Have had a mechanic friend try to remove it but unfortunately no luck so far, so I have been looking around for a replacement.

Quite a few new replacements on eBay for around the £30 but I'm unsure of the quality, has anybody had experience with these parts?

Also there's lots of options on onlinecarparts but these require an exchange so I assume they can refurbish my old caliper, but will they accept the old caliper in this state?


BMW part no: 34216758135

Would appreciate any feedback please

Thanks fella's

Andi
 
I'd buy a non OEM caliper from a well know supplier such as Eurocarparts but not from an unknown ebay seller. I'd probably look at a breakers as well.
