It's not bringing up numbers for every part you want but just one should get the parts bloke to the right page on the ETK :wink:

Pete, you need 10 & 11, they are specific to each side and cost about £5 each from the dealers

Just saw this in TBMW and it looks great - Even better in the flesh though! I love the wheels (what i'd give for a set of new gen Alpinas - I would even sell the wife!)
Sold the chromie with the leathers you passed onto me and now have a mint 325i touring - bit of vibration from the centre prop-shaft bearing thingy - how easy are these to replace?
Did you chip your 325, if so which one did you use, where did you get it, and would you recommend??
Hope you're keeping well!!!
Again - love that car!

Been up to my other garage where my blue 325 is to fire it up today as work is a little slack and it fired straight away and so sounded sweet..dam i miss my 325 been on the road,While i was there i fitted a black facia period'ish kenwood stereo courtesy of e30topless,Thanks again steve.and fitted a pre facelift injector loom which allows the rocker cover breather to fit correctly without been crushed when the hartge rocker cover is fitted!
