Anyone recommend a good place to buy replacement panels?

Sorry cant help you with a place.My advise would be to go to BMW and buy genuine panels from them though.

yeah euro carparts stockton think thats near you? the pattern panels r spot on.

[maxfield]

From what i've read nowhere comes close to dealers in terms of fitment

[TOFTY]

i know what you mean with dodgy fitment , but the ones they supply r sound

[TOFTY]

they even do oe ones come to think ov it

[Loony]

As maxfield said and for that reason i will always pay more for the real thing.

Be very careful when buying from the dealers as they tend to only be approved by BMW now! My "genuine" wing has too many bolt holes along the top and the gap around the grille is too big! Shut lines are fine though! But if were to do it again ECP would be the way i'd go, savinf over £100 in the process!!!

I've had several very good genuine wings and front panels off breakers. Often these panels are considerably younger than the rest of the car.
I would have had a lot more good ones if the lazy bas**rds putting them on had bothered to coat the inside properly.
