    Default distributor cap and rotor

    I checked with the local Bosch dealer to get a price on a cap and rotor for my 1990 535i. $110 for both. I used to be a small block chevy guy and low cost parts were everywhere. Autozone has both for about $85 but not Bosch. Any ideas or product reviews? I've got about 100k on the cap and rotor. Spark plugs too but those are more reasonable.

    1990 535im 421,000 miles, 1987 325is, 1989 325is, 1990 m3, 1991 318is, 2001 X5 3.0

    so far I have only used Bosch and Bremi, they last at least 100k. I will again buy brand items for this.

    I never buy German car parts from Autozone, usually poor quality or reboxed OE(Beck-Arnley) at sky high price. Try some online vendors. Nothing wrong with $110 for both BTW.
    Try and get 100k from a Chev cap
