    EDIT 1/30/2025: A panel has been sourced, thank you to any non-scammers who PM'd me about this trying to help.

    Hello you beautiful bastards,

    I'm looking for a late-model E30 rear tail light panel, US-spec NOT euro. Would prefer one in Zinno but color doesn't really matter. More importantly, the panel cannot have ANY damage, even if it's been "repaired". A panel cut from another late model E30 is fine but needs to be the whole panel including weld tabs and without damage.

    I would very much prefer a new, OEM unit w/ OE stickers if possible. I'm one of those people... My budget is $500 including shipping. Unfortunately, my work schedule does not allow me to pick up unless you're around the Portland, Oregon area. I know I can get these online, but I would rather give another enthusiast the cash than a corporation.

    Edit: Here is the P/N I have and the one I'd like to find if at all possible: https://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/par...&q=41348103088
    A guy I know has a new genuine late tail panel in Indy. He bought a nice E30 mid resto and isn't using it.

    He won't ship it, but he'd probably drop it off at a UPS store for them to package if you paid the tab. I'll see what kind of value he's after for it

      Okay, that would be appreciated. I am definitely open to all options given the rarity of this part nowadays. If he'd be willing to help at least coordinating shipping, obviously I would compensate for that.
      I just don't trust UPS's packaging thoroughness and I can't just fly to Indy to accommodate a pick up.

      Please PM me when you hear from him. The four messages I've gotten about this have all been scammers so I am still basically at square one. Thanks!

        Bump to include euro-spec is acceptable. US-spec is the bane of my existence idk why these aren't made anymore...
