Make sure you get the one Geo. recommends, or another one you know is an exact replacement.
If I remember correct, the flasher ALMOST identical to the universaly available flashers.
(ALMOST means two of the 3 leads are swapped, so if you plug in the std one it won't work & you may get smoke!)
For specifics search the archives. I'm pretty sure someont posted what happens if you plug the wrong one in, & possibly how to disassemble a std one & switch the leads so it can be used.

Go to AutoZone or Pep Boys and ask for a flasher for an early '80's BMW 5 series. It is the same unit at 1/5th the cost ($11 vs. $50) I did this for my '81 308 and it works fine. |

Pull out the old one and take it to Autozone and they will give you one for $3-5 . |
