Now a days it pays to ask the main dealer especially on here ,. some prices you see on Ebay do make your eyes water , "rare" Mtech 2 parts being a good examplepaultv wrote:I don't often feel like a grumble, but I was looking for a replacement top radiator plastic mount as one of the threaded sockets, which is plastic, has stripped out on mine.
I punched in the part number 17111709347 and was surprised to find that I could buy a second hand one from the UK for €40 and various others in the US and around Europe from around €12 - €50.
My handy OEM dealer here in Germany, Leebmann24, will knock me one out for seven euro's and nine cents - and that's new, not some stripped out rotten old grubby item.
OK, that's it, back to watching my pot boil, which is taking forever for some reason.

Clips and fasteners are a big rip off but carry on until the end of the listing and you could even buy a box load for not much more.Kedge wrote:Same with a lot of parts. I'm aware of a number of traders over the years that have bought new from BMW and sold for massively inflated prices online. Good job you were wise enough to check with your local dealer
I use a local fastener shop for most nuts and bolts, only the non standard stuff would make me call a dealer.martauto wrote:Clips and fasteners are a big rip off but carry on until the end of the listing and you could even buy a box load for not much more.Kedge wrote:Same with a lot of parts.

But do you have the Indigo Blue coin tray and the bendy map light like plugs in to the ciggy lighter socket though?Topblag wrote:I need to get some genuine sport parts up on eBay before the sport bubble bursts - I’ve got genuine sport ashtrays, centre console sets, glove boxes, door seals, window switches etc......
Same here , a great shop nearby by to me both helpful and cheap so it works both ways although I don't suppose what I spend there will make him a wealthy mansteve_k wrote:also, i do the same as colin (topblag) & use a local fastener shop for most nuts/bolts/clips, 9 times out 10 they've got what i want at a fraction of what the dealer/ebay charge.
plus it helps keep small local shop open.

And if you look closely the rear bench is just a cabrio bench so nothing special really. No-one bought it when it was £1000 don't know why he thinks it will sell better at 3x the priceBonymaenjack wrote:https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Bmw-E30-Genu ... Sw-JJaZNdz Hmmm , and not perfect
