Two questions for you. First one, picked these lights up at a scrappy today (only lights they had which fit a four door)

They are stamped BMW on the lenses and I have seen them around on other E36's, but what are they?

Second question is:

The fuel filler flap was forced, causing the locking mechanisim (specifically the plastic plunger bit, the latch if you will) to break. It no longer moves far enough out of the lock and is actually snapped in half. Can this be replaced?

Clear indicator package (rear's sides and front) was an option on all late E36's.

The lock rod can be replaced but it is part of the lock actuator.

Item no 5.

No worries.

Breaker yard is your friend!

Go in the boot and remove the drivers side boot trim carpet and it will be there held in with a couple of 7 or 8mm bolts.
