How to order euro parts?

[e30onBBSs]

I've been searching for a way to order euro seatbelt receptacles for about an hour now and when I type in "euro seatbelt receptacle e30" it all comes up as euro like "bmw is a european company, here's the part for your US car" kinda deal. How do you go about this? I may call the dealer but I remember hearing about it's getting harder and harder to get euro parts through them.

Thanks!

I have euro e30. I look up real oem BMW for part numbers.

There are early & late receptacles , they are not euro specific
Can probably sell you a pair of either

Would you post up a pic? I got the part number off realoem and looked on like every part website and I know and none of them looked like the ones I have in the car

post a pic of what you have in the car

Alright here's the receptacle in the backseat that is what I need, but for the front seats.
And here is why the seatbelt is incompatible in the US receptacles.
That black piece that comes down pushes the press button. I could swap the US belts from my other e30 but I would rather spend the extra $ to keep it OEM

When I searched all the results I got didn't appear to have that special channel for that piece to slide into, and the press button is not separated from the clicky part, it's weird

Those are different then the ones i have, but this car is an 84 right? That may be why.

I just look up on real oem and then send blunt the part numbers. Thing with euro cars is that you gotta send a photo copy of your title to him to verify that you own a euro car or bmw wont send parts to us cause of the restrictions that got put in place

I'm communicating with Blunt and he's never seen them either! They are made "KOLB" ?

These are the rear seat ones, my only reference. The part number for this car is the universal buckle, so I really have no idea how they got there? They say BMW on them so they are most likely OEM with the car. FCP euro doesn't know about them either lol

could it possibly be out of an earlier model car?

i did some looking http://www.bmw2002faq.com/topic/1038...na-seat-belts/it might be from the 2002 new klasse era the company was britax-kolb

You go to http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E30/, seach the part number you need, then order it from your closest BMW dealership.

Yea man that's the same part numbers as realOEM. I guess this car is just weird or someone swapped in the weird belts but that's really unlikely because the belts are the same exact in the rear, and that would be pointless. I am probs gonna swap the belts for US ones, shouldn't be too hard if it's possible.
