E34 540 starter motor

[Sidney Rough-Diamond]

Can anyone confirm the solenoid in this eBay sale is the correct part for my car ? I mailed the vendor and he says he believes this is the correct part, but just wanted to make sure as shipping it to the UK and finding it's the wrong one means it's worthless trying/paying to return it. I know you are thinking,why not get one in the UK, well I did try,but at £55 ( $100 ) I don't like to get screwed by anyone,except by the current Mrs Rough-Diamond.

Thanks

Seems a bit steep even for BM UK. If you havent already, check this site out:
