Where to get piston rings?

JonEQuest · 11-07-2018, 10:55 PM

I am planning to replace all of my rings but they seem to cost over $100 per cylinder. That sounds crazy to me. Does anyone know a of a good place tp get ring that won't cost an arm and a leg?

None listed on the website. I was going to ask them though.

I'd go OEM BMW if you're going to do it....

I'm just in shock that piston rings cost so much per cylinder. I know they're Chrome and all that but it's just metal. every other car seems to have rings much cheaper than this.

I did mine this summer and they cost me $125.00 with EU taxes, per cylinder of course ...
