Linwar BMW A family-run BMW specialist for over 50 years, holding the UK's largest collection of classic BMW parts.

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.

Meet the Team - Carolyn

Classic BMWs up to about 1990 are my area of interest, having had hands on dismantling experience on many cars over the years! I love the fact that our warehoused stock has been instrumental in keeping many old classics on the road. My next project for restoration is a 325i Sport E30 M Tech 1 which will keep me busy for a while!

If you have any parts enquiries reach out to me on social media or email and I'll do my very best to help you keep your classic BMW on the road.

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.
