E30 Zone

Hi guys,

I am in need of some mint foglamps but reckon buying new is the only way? genuine ones from dealer are very expensive iirc, so I checked out ebay.com.

Has anyone tried these?..

Are they ok for use over here?

Or should I just wait and save for the genuine items?

Thanks

Look the same as genuine items to me just very clean

I'am temped to get a set of these, they look just like unbranded generic lights, should be ok

the lenses might be plastic instead of glass but they will look pretty good as there new so no stonechips or cloudy lenses

feck me sideways,
they are the nuts.
when my funds allow i'm after these.

They are different to genuine as inner section with the 2 plugs should be grey and the plugs should be grey as well.

But for 35 bucks WTF are you waiting for?

They can be used here no probs

badboy007 bought a pair IIRC, they look nice

i've got a few pairs. original BMW, totally as new, inc. mounting brackets, clips, screws, etc., £45 delivered.

oh sorry, i thought the ebay ones weren't genuine! maybe you should have a word with the stealers then.

show off

mine are cloudy and pitted look pretty naff, think i might go for the ebay set.

you want ebay copy stuff and not the genuine thing on your E30 matt?

Has anyone noticed the postage costs?

I doubt if Adit or any other UK seller will be charging that much..

Fook the Hong Kong stuff! If people over here keep buying goods from over there we'll all be buggered!!

actually change of plan think i'll be buying yours

Look this is easy. Even with the postage these work out at approx. 45 quid. On top of that you'd need to buy 2 seals from BMW at nearly a fiver a side. Only the right hand one is NLA!!

Adi is right. You'll maybe pick up a set of original second hand one for about £35. But they will have a peppering of stone chipping. I've seen the sets adi sells and they are in excellent shape so £45 for the real macoy ain't out of the way.

Either that or go to the dealer and pay £100 EACH for two new ones

You pays ya money boys and I know which way I'd be heading with 45 quid. Straight to sunny Portsmouth.
