Hi all
I'm looking to replace my touring front wings, any recommendations for places to get from? Or any good brands to look out for?
Thanks scott

last time i checked they wanted £150 a side or something like that
I went for pattern parts in the end cant remember exactly the name but Hadrian sounds familiar

Wish i went for genuine though as the fella who fitted and painted then said he had to bend them to shape

When I checked earlier this year they were £200 each from BMW. Reasonable really for a car thats been out of production for over 20 years. There were a few threads on here about them now being "BMW approved" parts whilst others said they were still perfect fitting originals. Who knows?

I think you're thinking Hadrian Body Panels.

BMW dealer supplied wings are in fact pattern - the originals have long gone.
