Bmw e30 oem replacement dashboard

[ryver touring]

the brand new dash's come with a different texture. It almost looks fake

[jsedita74]

How much would you charge to wrap a dash ?

It would be cheaper to get the dash wrapped, hell i know we would wrap the dash for less then that

I might be interested if it's worth the money

There are places that will recover a dash in the correct vinyl for $300-400 dollars. Two are http://www.justdashes.com/ or http://dashboardrestorations.com/

Good info!

I paid $20 for a good crack free one here at the junkyard...

...of course that was last year, now the junkyard is pretty much empty of e30's...

No worries. :-)

Do you want a "NEW" one or a very good one with no cracks, no scrapes, and with vents???
I can ship a very good one from the UK for you.
If you need pics, no problems, I can supply those too.

thanks rav, but im looking for a "new" one (i dont think you would be able to ship it to me cheap enough for it to be worth it) there are ones on ebay for about 400-600 AUD crack free from UK including postage where as a new one is twice that much (1300-1500AUD) but will last twice as long

i just wanted to know if this part number 51 451 884 482 which is the new OEM replacement dashboard for an e30 is made of the new black plastic and not the old vinyl on foam combination.

Australian sun burns that shit up 8-)

anyone?

yeah i have heard this as well, can anybody tell me for sure?

[Todd Black 88]

From what i heard the new dashboards are made of similar materials to the newer cars, not the same as original. Different texture.

Not sure if true.

[Broom Broom]

the guy at BMW said he didnt even know if the dashboard would come with vents or ducts and didnt even know if it was made out of new harder palstic

what am i to do....

yeah already thought of that option, but i really want a nice clean, new plastic dash in the car

BMA have quoted me $795 AUD just got to see how much shipping is

lol bluntech said shipping from them would cost $1,100 AUD on top of dashboard cost :shock:

[nomansfriend]

Last year I paid around $950 for mine. Got it from Blunt

[MR 325]

It's $1,010.68 USD from www.bmwmercedesparts.com

Part number 51451884482.

Of course I'm not sure if they'd be willing to order it and then forward it to Aus.
