What is one in good condition ( no rust ) worth?
As I get older I realize that you can't please everyone - pissing everybody off is however a piece of cake

I estimate about £50 - £70
But very rare to find! I think "new" ones are about £170 each from BMW...
The part of wing that usually rusts away is the bottom sill part...you would be better off finding a "decent" one and have a body shop fabricate the bottom sill part for you.
I think I ended buying 5 wings when I did my car...by the time they were stripped back none of them were any good so ended up having the body shop fabricate anyway...
I think I still have the others if you are interested, happy to part with them for some beer money as I do not need them...will have to check condition etc...

If you're going down this route, you can use a cab. or saloon/touring wing. The join between the fabricated part and the rest of the wing lies behind a trim piece, so no 'invisible' join required.Gavla wrote:
