    license plate filler

    I'm looking for the black plastic license filler that I believe was an option in Europe. If anyone has one or knows where I can get one, please let me know. Also looking for lachs side mirrors or just the drivers side if you have it. Thanks, Matt.

    Number plate filler panel was fitted as standard on Euro E30`s from 88 onwards(plastic bumper) and was an option on earlier models!
    I bought one for my chrome bumper a couple of weeks ago from the dealer for £18($30?).
    Had to be shipped in from Germany as it was a back order so should imagine the same applys in the States?

    Hope this helps;)

            Thanks again. Everyone seems to have different part numbers.

              On some ETK's even at the dealer, one of the Early model ones is the only one that comes up under any e30. I ordered and have both of these. Part numbers are correct.

                51-13-1-888-450 Euro

                I have this filler on my car and trailer. In real life it's about $25 new for one of these. The US one was $40 and since I know how to use a drill [for the license plate holes] I saved myself some money.

                    Sorry to resurrect an old thread, however I thought it'd be easier to post my question here rather than start my own thread just for this, since I was already looking in here for the part numbers.

                    Question is,
                    Early model plate filler:
                    51-13-1-888-450 Euro

                    Will this one fit on a late model e30? Reason I'm asking is because I want the euro filler for my car, and I cant seem to find the late model filler (euro) on either bavarian, or pelican.

                    Help!
                    The bad, and the ugly.

                      No - for cars produced after 09/87, you need the late filler:
                      51-13-1-961-241 Euro (2 holes for license plate mounting)
                      51-13-1-961-242 US (4 holes)

                      Pelican shows them for $30, $23.40 from Tischer BMW.
