    Does anyone know where i can get some from? Bmw want £60 a set which I silly as you can get other sizes much cheaper.
    Its for the exhaust manifold, I'm thinking about just putting normal bolts in there instead. I take it this would be ok apart from maybe a few issues removing them later if I need to?

    I wanted stainless ones, because I'm fussy. So I had a guy make me a custom set for £60, which is the same price as the normal steel ones BMW supply.

    PM me if you are interested.

    Cheers but not really, I'm trying to save money. I thought about getting some threaded bar and cutting my own

    any industrial fasteners place should be able to get you some if you know the length.
    if you go the threaded bar route then watch out as a lot of it is only grade 6.

    Ok, there is a place down the road I will try.

    What really wound me up is when I got the price from bmw he told me they were m10x40, so I got some on ebay for £15 quid. Bet he had a right laugh when he put the phone down.
