      Magnecor sells an 8, 8.5 and 7mm set
      the 8.5mm set is $127.55 (part 6567)
      the 8mm set (6067) is $75

      hmmmmmmm
      I always had a thing for Magnecor
      I think Swale is running Magnecor lines in his M3

                    the Magnecor ones are cheaper and I trust their quality as I have used them in other cars.
                    The only thing is I want to find out how to get the inductive pickup over on the Magnecors 8.5mm ones for all of $85
                    and the 10mm ones are only about $100

                              well, unfortunately they need me to send them the sensor to mount it and modify it to fit over the thicker wire and its $127 from them
