    What are the wanted Euro parts?

    Hi guys

    Seeing that I live in Belgium, I have quite a few Euro parts lying around and I was wondering which ones are sought after.
    I see the back plate holders are Euro specific for instance (and I have 2 of those)

    Thanks

      Decent Euro trims, early bumpers, Mtech stuff and maplight are rare even here.
      Whats different about the grills and guages?

        The grilles have more material above the headlights for a "mini-eyebrow" look as well as different slotting, and the gauges in Europe are in kph and l/100km instead of mph and mpg.

          Also the panel with warning lights and what-not are symbols on euro clusters, rather than written words on the US models.

                Since when is the maplight mirror been a euro part?

                Every e30 Ive owned minus my 318is came with the maplight mirror stock from the factory.

                  Not Euro-only, but maybe easier to find there?

                    I do realize it was an option for US cars and not as common as say anything standard equipment, but maybe I was just lucky in that most of my cars came with it to begin with.

                    Shouldve held onto em and sold em later.

                      Yes, you were lucky. Its been my understanding that they are more common in europe. Who knows.

                            Is that possibly the Dogleg M20 sport tranny that was available as an option for the 323i?

                            They're really not that common, normal prices are 70-80 euro and they don't pop up very often.
