4.6is Lower Cam Chain Tensioner

Post by sleepyfolk » Mon Jul 17, 2017 3:28 pm

Was looking to change this as one of those precautionary type maintenance measures, I don't want a cheap part off eBay but the dealer is a way from me, eurocarparts have one by febi bilstein, are they ok or a cheap copy brand that should be avoided? Should I make the trip to BMW and get one from there?
