    So you're saying the old bagged kit I have on a shelf is worth a mint. Neat.

      Ya with the age and popularity of some of these chassis parts are being hard to find. FWIW I use this site for parts needed when I don't feel like going to the dealer. https://www.bmwpartsdirect.com/

      IIRC they need a VIN but that's usually fine.

        list is 80 bucks at fcp but the final few sold over $350 US. the single printed ebay part is the same $350 price as the kit. sell it before it comes back lol.


        edit : the kits for rhd cars is still available but not for lhd. the parts that break don't interchange.

                    they can't source it either. there's a single aftermarket producer and they seemed to have quit. the problem is there aren't any cars aside from e30 using the lock system.

                      I tried placing an order with them. Unlike other vendors, they were prompt in telling me what the situation was. Apparently, BMW has 100s of orders for the kit outstanding.
