Parts Specialists For E34 Models

Hi

I feel like I'm looking for the Holy Grail!

I've contacted countless suppliers (both BMW franchise outlets and various independents but seem to be coming up against a brick wall.

I'm looking for an idle control valve for a 1991 525i auto. Post September 1992 valves for the later E34 's seem fairly easy to get hold of but not the one I need. Additionally, there seems to be some confusion on the parts of some suppliers about just what fits what. Currently the valve on my car is a Bosch 0280 140 524 but a few sellers have indicated this is incorrect and the part number that fits is 0280 140 574.

Other suppliers however say that the 574 unit superseded the 524 one. Slightly confused on this.

Any ideas as to which is correct and- where I might get hold of one- preferably new, Bosch or equivalent quality or anybody got any better thoughts on this one?

Regards

John

    Confusion may be coming from the move to DOHC engine in Sept the previous year.

    DOHC M50 Engine - ICV part number 13411433626

    Pop this part number into fleabay and see if this helps
