$450? still a ripoff..

It's not a ripoff IMHO.


The fact that BMW has this available as new old stock at any price for a car they haven't produced in XX years is pretty remarkable IMHO.

Remember, other car companies start discontinuing parts as soon as they can get away with it... I am used to the world of parts unavailability, make-your-own parts and special tools, and hunting through the dealer network to find discontinued and NLA parts.

[Gerta]

LOL.


Paolo you should make it out to one of the Bert's gtgs. Actually, we should have the entire North crew come down one week.

I would be down for that

Damn straight. It shocks me how many people think some BMW parts are overpriced and a rip off.

News flash, at least you can still BUY the damn things.

Hell 6 years ago I bought 2 brand new BMW MTECHNIC door sills for my mtech1 car.

They were $275 EACH, at a time when people wanted 300 - 400 bucks for a gritty used pair. I was very pleased to buy them and was even more happy that BMW had them.

Go to Audi and order a part for an old Quattro, odds are the parts guy does not even know what that is

Im going to pdx and I have for sale Stamars world famous

PASSENGER SIDE FENDER for coupe and sedan.

The single most discussed fender in r3vlimited history.

For sale, signed, for $40. Probably boost your coupes sale price by 300. At least good to throw in.

Let me know and I will bring it.

[IronJoe]

Yeah, when I first bought my M3 I couldn't believe that the Evo aerodynamics stuff (front spoiler, rear spoiler, etc) were still available NEW. Blew my mind. Y'all fuckers are spoiled, own a SAAB for a year and get back to me LOL.

[stamar]

Own a peice of r3v limited history.

Stamar II will even call you names for free.

Going on two months after ordering my new door, case in point. They're still producing new Saab body panels and I still can't even get one.

[Van Westervelt]

x eleventy billion.

The fact that they are even reproducing some of the parts for cars approx 30 years old and older is unheard of.

The price is the price. I would rather have a BMW part at 5 times the cost of any aftermarket knockoff. Despite the aftermarket fitment issues 9 times out of 10. Still haven't seen an aftermarket e30 m3 front wheel bearing that fits properly. I have play with 3 different manufactures when I was in a time pinch years ago.

Original parts FTMFW

Having owned a 6 volt 1967 1600 (The color was....turf!) - I agree that mobile tradition is the shit.

The spray painted fender? If so, I'll pass, but thanks for the offer, regardless.

Send over pictures and be prepared for a lowball ;) Yahhno,, in r3v fashion.

I've gotta drag the sedan down to the insurance adjuster tomorrow, so when I move the sedan out of the way of the coupe, I'll snag some pics for you!

[kid325e]

[e30Rooster]

Just left work but we stock those. Sorry bro!

The E30 right?

[5Toes]

I am so upset, only thing I feel like doing is listening to some music.

[HarukoE30]

Anyone need an '89 zinno coupe? Body is kinda rough but the fucking thing runs and drives awesomely.

Is this the $300 one on craigslist I told Lucky about?
