I use to own a 1974 BMW Bavaria, and I once made the mistake of pricing parts at the dealer. I was looking for a front brake caliper, and BMW wante over 800 for it. A guy I was in line with mentioned that he picked up a cross reference CD for his old 2002 and it had saved him a fortune. Went online and found one, and found out that the brake was the same caliper as an 80's chevy product and I could get it at canadian tire under that part number for $23. No roundel stamped on the case but the exact same brake otherwise.
