Bought the 2 FPRs from XXXX. I checked out XXXX for these items, and the prices were too high. I, too, highly recommend XXXX. Also, I have received the best pricing and fastest service from XXXX for some of the items for this car and the 1995 BMW 540i. I go to XXXX for the best deals in used parts.

Consider this: On 7/17/10 would not start after several attemps. An hour later I changed the ignition coil from the original 1987 to the new Bosch. Started the instant I hit the key. End of story. Took the car on a shake down run including very hilly terrain for 130 miles, zilch problems. Plus, had way more acceleration that before. It seemed to run flawlessly before, based on my 1,000 mile first time MB driving experience. Now, it just screams on acceleration--this is one haul-ass load.

The original cap and rotor were suspicious looking inside the cap and the rotor was shaky looking too. Since various female members of our family drive the cars on long trips, I do not cheap out and risk shaky parts at their expense. I buy the best parts at the best prices in an ongoing effort to prevent a needless breakdown in the middle of the night 2,000 miles from home. All family member have been trained and are now experienced in changing an FPR--I should have my daughter for example screw around with a jumper wire instead of changing out the FPR in 5 minutes flat? Make no mistake, I'm so tight the door squeaks 2 years before I open it, perhaps that comes from being a K-M-K (Kraut-Mick-Kike), how terribly politically incorrect of me !!
