Remembered that last year the other side needed doing and it had a BMW part fitted from either 3 or 5 series - cant remember which now! Mentioned this to garage and they called supplier and the BMW was the same. Only problem was: Rover part - £68+vat +fitting BMW part - £117+vat +fitting Cut a long story short, got car back today and mechanic said that the part came in same box and part was exactly the same as the one that came off..only more expensive because it came in BMW box.
