    Source for Bilstein gland Nuts?

    Hi guys I picked up a pair of BMW Bilsein made shocks found on the M-technic cars, well they didn't come with gland nuts. I stopped by the dealer ealier today but they were $38 a pop from BMW. Does any one know of anywhere to get these retaining nuts? I called Bilstein but there closed untill tommorow. Could I have the factory ones drilled out by a machine shop to fit over the Larger piston of the Bilsteins? Or would that be as safe as buying the real ones?

    I should have a set somewhere for the larger (51mm) housings. I'll look around.

      Let me know, if you still need that M10 exhuast manifold we can work out a little deal for them.

        They're not here, but I think they may be in a parts box at home - I'll give a call tonight and find out.

          ok cool, let me know as I'll most likely call bilstein tommorow around lunch time and order some if I can't find any, as school is done in 2 weeks and I'll be installing everything then.

              I just looked and only saw the shocks and bump stops. Hopefully bilstein will ahve something for cheaper, even Jordan the parts guy here at the dealership couldn't belive the price for that external threaded nut.

                ..call BMA Ely, seems like you're basing this off their website. If you have the part #, call them and give it to them.

                  I didn't get the part number, can you look it up in the etk? He found it under 325i and it has all the different suspensions listed from boge to Bilstein, then it had that gland nut.
                  And ya I based it off there website.
