e30 fender is an e30 fender. the ones from certain countries requiring the side marker(based on your sig) can be made by modifying a standard one using your preference of cutting device or by the body shop since i'm assuming you'd need it painted either way.

Thank you I'll look into it - sedan and coupe are different correct?

I need to place an order for a fender...

Mainly use the local second hand pages, also we have a second hand E30 shop nearby. Then when i can't find it i just go to the dealer :). Got alot of good parts from facebook also.

I'm very happy with the turn around from Schmiedmann. Placed my most recent order on 3/26 and received it on 4/1. Even when their web site says the part is out of stock and will take 7 days to get, they seem to immediately get it back out the door to me. Minimum shipping charge is $23, but I've ordered quite a few parts in a single order and the shipping stayed at $23.

I've used eBay.co.uk and had a lot of success over there. A lot of small stuff like speaker grills, antennas, buttons have free shipping. I feel bad because I know they aren't making much if any money when they do that.

I think I mentioned it before, but i've had good success for a few smaller items from ebay.co.uk and .com.au. Previous car, but a lot of the people on .de ebay are pretty reasonable to deal with as well.

I had a little translation help to keep the process moving, but I think that helps out a lot.

But you'll have to wait for their sluggish shipping protocols.

Yeah. I ordered a handfull of things from them, and then waited for 5wks until they got some front euro trim replacements (and then they looked like shit, but that's a Bremen problem).

I don't own a touring, but I have bought a number of large/heavy parts from ebay.de.

Knowing a small amount of German helps, but I think being polite and not demanding helps more. I got two front diffs, an oil pan, CV shafts, and even a transmission.

I usually address them in at least some German (Bitte, Danke, etc). You can use a translator like Google but you have to be careful, if you don't understand what it's doing it will be obvious that it was translated.

most of the time the shipping really wasn't that bad, although I got some of the parts so cheap that I doubt the seller made much money. Of course, you don't want to poison the well so try not to leave a bad taste in anyone's mouth..

Most euro only parts will take time to arrive. Unless you have a euro vin/title i can get the items within 2 weeks.

How long did it take for you guys to get approved for that e30 touring FB group?

I got approved for the USA group right away. It took a little bit longer for the German group. Can't remember exactly how long. I'm rarely on FB.

ECS is an example of a company that CAN bring parts in :up:
