It seems that i can not find any part number for the boots. I did find repair kit on realoem, but there are not available anymore..and shop can not find boot based on VIN number.

Is there any fit from some other car or something like that?

Thanks for help, never order parts from e-bay.. Got to see how shipping works with Serbia.

Either way i found on ebay some port numbers from meyle and febi, maybe it will help in local search :)

Been using a German company, Autodoc, for car spares for a while now, after discovering that they were way cheaper on a couple of Bilstein E39 front legs than the UK staple, Eurocarparts/CP4L.
They ship to the UK, so I don't see why they shouldn't ship to Serbia as well.
Just had a quick look at their site for E30 driveshaft boots, and they offer about ten different brands, from well known to never heard of.
The annoying things about the site are the spam you'll get in your inbox for a few weeks afterwards, and their constantly varying 'sales'. Normally 19% discount, but occasionally up to 23% and down to 10%, with 0% for short periods between 'sales'.
There's also a discount code for your next order printed onto your invoice, and a 'bonus', valid for 90 days.

Nice.. :) In past i did order some original parts from Germany, no idea from who, just send the oem number and in 3-4 days the part is on my address.. But the guy who is ordering parts in germany and send them to serbia do not have time to look for part if I do not have the number..

Thanks for site brain :) I will take a look for sure.

Mechanics are using a universal stretch boot on these half-shafts. They are reluctant to remove the bearing from the old half shafts to fit the BMW boots in case of damaging it. I have had two separate encounters with different mechanics who opted for the stretch boots rather than use the BMW boots I had given them.

I have also had a few bits from these people , including a radiator for my 316 auto which came in at £138 delivered.
I also bought a thermostat which even after delivery was £5 cheeper than car parts for less (who are not very "less" these days)

Mart.
Only the E46 cab left now.
Just got too old.
