Yeah, I know...stupid that I can't find one at a junkyard, but there really isn't much in the way of Euro stuff, particularly e34.

Need a radiator cap for a 91 525i M50 shipped to Clearwater FL 33756

Thanks!

Call Rick's European... either Largo or Pinellas Park... they might have something.

Where in Clearwater Beach are you? I'm from Tampa and have a good friend that lives on the beach still and my high school g/f of 3 years lived right off the golf course in Belleair.

Why would you bother to replace a twenty year old ten dollar wear part with another twenty year old part?

Ross1, Good point on just ordering one...I was hoping to find someone local or close by that could get it here quicker as a quick solution. I will check with AHAZ and see if they can expedite it for me.

E34nication: I live in Island Estates (across from Island Way Grill) and my business is located downtown on Fort Harrison. I know the exact area your GF lived...I drive by there everyday taking my son to VPK at Bellair Montessori. Are you still in Tampa, or just originally from Tampa? I am guessing the latter as your sig says Alabama. I'd love to get to know some local enthusiasts in the Tampa area but it seems they are far and few between.

Very familiar with Island Estates. I grew up in Tampa and spent a lot of time in Clearwater/Clearwater Beach... as a matter of fact I used to stay over there 2 nights a week on average. Unfortunately work moved me and I've been in Bham for a little over 2 years now.

The best way to get involved with the local enthusiasts there is to go to one of the BMWCCA autocrosses. There's a user on here (Bam2002) that organizes them but he rarely posts on BFC. Lot of good people that attend those and they're a lot of fun. Tamparacing.com has an autocross section that typically has schedules in them... other than that I'm not sure what the story is with the local Tampa scene. There used to be a pretty good sized group that would meet weekly at Quaker Steak & Lube with a mixed back of imports and domestics...

You need 200 bar right? I have one for you, I bought it by mistake (m20 needs 140) - it's only slightly used - you buy the stamps, ... pm me.
