My engine man who is overhauling my m90 3.5 is looking for a set of pistons 1 thou oversize ideally. He cannot find them on his usual sources is there anywhere a forum member can reccomend in Europe. Or is it best to revert to custom made?? Any thoughts or ideas please

i have experienced the complete renewal of three engines in the last 6 months, two M30 from e9, and another M30 from a 633 CSI
in all cases there is not another source than BMW dealer for original MAHLE pistons
the good news is that the price is very reasonable: between 100 and 150 eur per complete piston (that inlcudes segments too)

BTW, it always help if you tell us where are you from !

Here in the states the usual option would be to source custom. JE Pistons get's mentioned, but there are several manufacturers here. Arias, Weisco, etc. You can order custom w/ deck height, compression ratio, etc.

Also try Ireland, Vac Motorsports, Metric mechanic, Paul Burke, that may have shelf stock.
