Would a kind soul be able to look for a used OFH on car-part.com either close to 21218, 06460, or somewhere else along the I-95/I-87 corridor between DC and Montreal? I'm currently in the US (without a laptop so I can't search) and parts are cheaper here, so it'd be very appreciated!

Any idea what it might be listed under?

Thanks a lot for the help guys. I ended up finding a good one on eBay for $45 shipped. I'm throwing in a cooling system refresh at the same time since my water pump was done for (and close to the mileage where PM is needed anyway).

I picked up most of the genuine stuff I needed from BMW of Morristown, they have outstanding pricing - eg. $17.86 for the gallon of coolant, and I drove by FCP to get my OEM components (pump, thermostat, hoses, etc) - their offices are absolutely beautiful!

If everything goes according to plan, the car will be off the lift Friday.

Hey, that looks EXACTLY like the FCP in Milford, about 15 minutes from my house... Where is this one located?
