I discovered about 2 years ago that theBosch 3-wire for the 87 Ford Mustang is the same one for the BMW. . . . but a lot, lot cheaper (about $55.) I would suggest you go to a FLAPS and look at the VW one and the Ford one and I'll bet that there is no difference. The Ford Bosch has worked fine in my BMW w/ no problems. Many, many members of the BMW-Digest use this solution on their cars.
