Original alarm is only rare if it works.

are Racing Dynamics bodykits, gearknobs, steering wheels, rocker covers or 6 branch' rare? :D

If you don't want them anymore - send me a PM as I wouldn't mind if they will fit 14" wheels. :D

I have a map light mirror....
A Tech1 spoiler (not really rare tbh)

I do infact have a bootliner... people where saying these where rare at the start of this thread?? That was like 2 years ago!!! Perfect nick too..

May take it out of the trusty 320i SE and put into the 325i.

Other than that the 320i SE is nicely specced with adjustable headlights (need to fix that somehow...), the SE kit, rear speakers (original), fog lights, and loads of random but uncommon parts.

You appear to have accidentally posted a list of common parts still available new from BMW in a thread all about rare parts...

I'd probably put Hartge splitties up there, the 4x100 17"s are certainly worthy!

lol, I was refering to Theo saying everything could be bought from the dealers. Tech-1 spoilers can't, I've tried. There was only a few thousand Tech-1 sports made for a start as well. Out of what the 2 million E30s world-wide, I'd say the tech1 spoiler is a least uncommon or mildly-rare! :rofl:

I'll be on the hunt for an alpina spoiler soon though.

You can still buy a new alpina rear spoiler.
I know, roughly £250 isn't it? Do you need proof of alpina ownership or can anyone buy one?

p.s. I like that coin tray.... different.

No need for proof if your dealer is friendly. I'm sure the parts department on here will oblige. Failing that, i have a C2 chassis number you can use to order on if you need.
