But my parts place just let me know they have some Febi carriers if I chicken out lol!
I recommend against the Febi carriers. I don't know if it is just my X or others have had the same issue, but the socket on the Febi carriers that snaps onto the ball on the operating rod is either too large, not deep enough or both. They will constantly pop off. I went to the genuine BMW and haven't had that problem since.
