James, good to see you on here. For completeness of the thread, and from our chats on Instagram the conclusion is this is just normal valvetrain...
Ok, I can't really afford this right now, but then I probably can't really afford not to take advantage of your offer... I have a UK 1997 GT that...
One related word of warning - be very careful (and keep everything crossed) when removing your matrix/heater core as the plastic used for the...
If both were LHD then I'd suggest the FF, but for this reason (and maybe a little of the gated manual...) I'd opt for the 456 personally. Sounds...
Well, if you come up with the ECU solution, I have a feeling you'll have a willing marketplace. I for one would be interested.
Nice touch!
Did this sell? And if so, any idea where I could get another for my 456GT?
Not sure if location would be right for you but can recommend Dave the Trimmer (his business name) near Cranfield/Milton Keynes area.
Thanks for the response. Do you have any more details on the bluetooth adaptor/module etc?
So looking further into this, it looks like my best route is to buy an adaptor for the iPhone that allows me to take a 3.5mm headphone jack from...
Reviving a very old thread. I have a 1997 456GT with original Sony stereo and CD changer that are currently working fine (famous last words). I...

Ok so confirmation that the BMW part doesn't fit then? I guess the best method might just be a custom core, which probably isn't that expensive....
Exactly, if that is the right part then there are a number of good new OE equivalent parts that can be used so be great if someone who has done...
Apologies for bringing up an old thread here, but did anyone ever confirm that the BMW core (641113843259) was the correct one for a 456? (Seems...
Super cheap, even for the UK no? Most specialists quote £1,000+ for a cambelt change. The price you have is more aligned with a standard service no?
I can't help with any specific details but there is a guy called Neil in the UK - @fasterGerman on Instagram I think - who has done just this....
Does this only work with the 355 HU or would it work on the Sony unit installed on the 456 models?
I think I'm going to need to message you about this and work out my best route. I recently bought a 1997 456GT here in the UK that came with only...
