Linwar Motors Ltd: A Heritage of BMW Excellence

Established in 1970 by lifelong car enthusiast Ian Thompson, Linwar Motors Ltd has grown into a cornerstone for classic and modern BMW enthusiasts worldwide. Today, we remain proudly family-run, with Ian — now in his eighties and still working six days a week — overseeing the operation and answering the phone! Daily management is handled by his son,

Jonathan, while his daughter, Carolyn, manages the admin & digital engagement, connecting their passion with a global audience. Both Jonathan & Carolyn have extensive hands on knowledge of the cars having been put to work dismantling at an early age! Based in a huge warehouse in Lancashire UK, Linwar Motors has an unparalleled inventory of classic BMW parts dating from 1970 up to the mid-1990s. We also stock a vast selection of new, used, and reconditioned components for later models. We are not computerised so please bear with us while we look for your parts, a list and 24 hours is appreciated! In addition to parts, our workshop offers expert routine servicing and repairs. We proudly offer shipping worldwide, ensuring that whether you need a rare classic component or reliable service, Linwar Motors can deliver.

Our remanufactured brake servos are finished to an exceptional standard — right down to the powder-coated cylinder and freshly plated drum.
Each cylinder is sleeved in stainless steel and rebuilt using custom-made seals for long-lasting reliability and performance.

The result? A servo that not only performs like new, but looks even better than the originals ever did.

✔ Fully remanufactured
✔ Stainless steel sleeved cylinder
✔ Custom-made seals
✔ Powder-coated & plated finishes
✔ 12-month warranty included

Important: Warranty is void if silicone brake fluid is used. These units must only be used with DOT4 brake fluid.

Absolute unicorn find. This is a brand new 3-spoke vinyl steering wheel for the BMW 2002. Dad's had this in stock for at least 45 years and we found it tucked away at the back of a shelf!

New Old Stock (Never mounted). Complete with centre boss & contacts in original box with OEM label.
Classic sporty 3-spoke design. The vinyl is flawless—no nicks, scratches, or wear.

Finding a 2002 wheel in this condition is nearly impossible; most have succumbed to heat-cracking or heavy use.
Perfect for the BMW collector/restorer who demands perfection.
