New touring owner

highly suggest getting touring specific springs from ebay germany or something.

in a pinch, go for cabrio springs but both are rated for higher weight and make all the difference.

i had a saggy rear that rubbed and bumped before i swapped mine.

the cargo net is not easy to come across so if you see one get it.

good luck looks clean from here.

Thanks mxtx, will check what s available....

I order most of my parts from Leebmann in Germany. They only sell Genuine BMW parts

You won't be able to get any real help from US dealers as they've been told to not give out Euro spec parts without a Euro VIN on a US title.

Schmiedmann.com is a great alternative source for parts since BMW USA seems to not want our business.

As far as the part itself are you sure you dont need #2 here? http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E3..._system/#pos_2

Yup the number 2. Thanks roguetoaster, will check with schmiedmann.

Gents,

Any idea how to source OEM parts from Germany? Looking for this part

51 71 8 134 821 - trunk lid rubber for touring

Would this be available in the Us? Dealership in the UK does not have one (well one that I ve been buying from thus far). Any info is highly appreciated.

Cheers
Olie
