It fits in place of the narrow strip or "is" front spoilers and was after market, I believe from Germany. It protrudes on the bottom like the EVO E30 M3 spoiler and I believe held on using the factory plastic clips just as the factory two alternatives did. I thought it was sold by Lowen Design, but they appear to be gone from cyberspace. I also tried Schmidmann from Scandinavia, but their site is havin problems in the English version. Anyone?

Biking over to the dealer that used to be named Allison, they wanted !$112. for one that said BMW on the box. Nfw, so next door at Kragen, a composite impeller style that's a dead ringer for OEM, made in Italy, was $68 that includes a lifetime warranty. The deal said the BMW part only would get a warranty if it was installed by the dealer too. Never know when the stealer bug will hit an item, as they still sell BMW brand antifreeze for $20. What's the deal with the warranty on dealer parts? is the dealer parts department bs'ing me?

But its been a long time since I had something done on a BMW at a dealer. To be fair to the dealers - I believe that if that dealer installed waterpump craps itself and causes other damage they will cover that subsequent repair. Kragen will give you back your $68 (or maybe another water pump).

This warranty does not include labor unless the part was installed by the dealer. Electrical parts carry no different warranty and the battery warranty is the same as well, no pro-rating of battery life.

It will start to raise the car but only goes a few inches up and no farther. I guess it could be low on hydraulic fluid and/or a seal has given up. This was no fun when I was swapping over to winter tires, but luckily I use jack stands as backup and could use the OE jack to get the job done. How do I approach repair?
