    Ya it's an s50 I'll have a look for the wiseco ones, wouldn't have minded buying the box from bmw but they are discontinued, only available individual at 10 each.

    If it's S50 then you need to look at fiat 33mm shims

    Or this link http://www.eurosport-uk.net/shop/ind...products_id=45

    Or of course BMW

    Ah it would kill me to fit fiat shims, I'll have to go genuine. Pity nobody has a box of them handy.

    They’re just flat pieces of steel. BMW probably outsource them themselves.

    Ya I know, I only needed two in the end so have them ordered from BMW. Lucky I wasn't able to buy the full box beforehand!

    Those fiat shims are made in Italy and are more than likely the same shims Ferrari use in the their engines that require 33mm shims.

    I will be buying from that website when I do my s50 valve's
