"IS" skirts?

[joe87]

Anyone know the best place to find "IS" skirts? Are the aftermarket ones any good, or can you still find genuine BMW ones?

Many thanks

I guess you mean SE skirts? There's a pair here in the for sale section which may or may not have been sold already. I've got a feeling they are still available from the dealer but get ready to lube up!

I'm pretty sure there used to be "IS" skirts especially made for the 318is? I might be wrong though?

There's an iS specific front lip but not skirts.

No they are the same part numbers, the ones listed for the 320i and 325i and the ones listed as available for the 318is. They were standard on the SE and were obviously an option on the 318is at some point in some markets.

There is a second set of 'edition' part numbers for the 320 and 325 but they don't correspond to anything I can see. there are only one set of numbers listed for the 318is and they are also listed for the 320 and 325, nothing else.

I can't get to my SE skirts to check the part numbers at the moment.

Seems pricey to me but maybe I'm out of touch.

Where I am looking they look not much more than that new from BMW. I am one who will pay more for good original stuff but can't see the plastic stuff suffering the same issue as the recent OEM metal stuff.

The ones listed here were closer to the mark IMHO

I would certainly be pricing them up new.

You say that, but a year or so back I bought the small front section of SE skirt and it was about 5mm shorter than the original, leaving too much of a gap where it meets with the main section

Sadly it’s a ‘facebookism’ and for some bazar reason they become know as iS, not SE which is what they are. Those groups are just a Petri dish of misinformation and bullshit.

Bloke is mental but then that seems pretty common now.

Are SE skirts sedan only?

They're the same part for saloons and tourings, not sure about convertibles.

I have a fairly decent set of se skirts for sale £80 if it helps?
