Anyone know if there are any suppliers still in existence stocking styling interior or exterior, or accessories specifically for E30s/old bmws?

Thanks man, that's what I wanted, so I could just have a browse. Never new you could get a wind deflector for the roof.

Realoem is just an online copy of BMW's ETK (electronic parts catalog). Prices are notoriously inaccurate, and availability status isn't much better.
Check with a BMW dealer, such as Cotswold in our traders' forum, for an accurate price and availability.

Yes, will be doing that that Brian, I started to figure that out when I browsed realoem. It's all coming back to me slowly.

As for dedicated companies creating their own products specifically for the E30 (and surplus to BMW's catalogue), I see Racing Dynamics is still going (in America!) with a limited (and marmite) selection. Couldn't find any more in my search.

Thanks, good shout. I did a bit more digging since...

I've made a couple of orders on ebay and amazon now. I've joined 3 groups on facebook.

'Brutus' on here, I discovered, has most parts and that includes accessories - I'm getting the cassette holder from him, funiliy enough it came up for sale on one of the facebook groups about a day later! 3 x the price, mind.

Found an American site - e30head - which sells custom-made cup holders (+ a few other bits).

Then there's Shiedmann.

I think the other two thirds of the price was probably for the original box it came in though!
