Back with a 92 Cabrio

What are those little plastic flappy bits called? You know, the ones on the top of the rear door cards. The little black squares. Where did you get them from, and for how much?

they're like $20 each and on realoem. You can get them from any of the parts store like bavauto or fcpeuro

Nice car btw, OP. I like your FPR ;)

If he is talking about these they are over 120, if not I didn't understand the question.

oh jeez. I picked up a pair last year brand new, less than $40 from both. I'll check my receipts and see where I got them. I've been waiting to repaint my interior before installing them

Well couldn't find that receipt but the pair I have are new OEM and I definitely would not have paid $150 each for them. I guess these went up in price since last year

[parkerbink]

They just skyrocketed. It was 70 in April & was lost by USPS when I called to get it dealt with they said they were 120 now.

Its a couple is years since I replaced mine but $28 each sticks in my mind.

BMW established a "classic parts division" acknowledging the stroing demand for older parts and since then it seems prices have risen to "premium" levels.

Some other examples:

rear shift plate bushing I paid $54 for a year ago is now closer to $100
dashboards that were $6-700 are $1000+

[Das Delfin]

^ I was able to buy a Behr blower motor a few years ago for $200 and now they're either NLA or 400+ for OEM

makes me want to inventory what might break in the near future and buy the cheap stuff now

[parkerbink]

It's insane.
These came today.

IE spark plug wires.

Exhaust was too loud, Magnaflow resonator went in, it's much better.

[parkerbink]

Rims came, go on in the am.

[parkerbink]

I couldn't wait, now I'm freaking drowning in sweat.

All four tires were under 20lbs. Compressor & air tools ftw!
