Where can I get this trim piece

Post by delvin »

I am looking for the part number(s) for the black trim piece that goes next to the fog light on the European valance. I've come up with are these numbers posted in the Euro Bumper Install FAQ

Covering Left - 1 - 51 71 1 888 653
Covering Right - 1 - 51 71 1 888 654

Where can I buy them things?

Yeah, you will have to go used. Even if you had valid Euro documents, you would have to wait months for them anyway.

The fella I bought the car from gave me a bin full of small parts that I went through again last night and found both sides. Thanks for the help guys. I have an extra set if anyone needs a set.

Schmiedmann required a euro vin? :shock: The whole song and dance or just a number?

Just asked for a vin which I didn't have at the time. Isn't there an entire thread full of Euro VINs on here somewhere or?

Why not? I've got a spreadsheet full of vins, most of which seems accurate. I'd be happy to give someone a number.

A VIN won't help anyone unless they have the documentation to support it and frankly, I've already got enough problems ordering parts from BMW, I don't need a bunch of people fucking it up for me even further trying to use one of my VINs if they happen to be on someone's list.
