Anyone have or know where to get Front and Rear chrome windshield trim for an e28?

Thanks

Are you referring to the plastic part or the polished aluminum one? You can buy the plastic piece on most online vendors and buy two fronts. The pieces for the rear are more expensive than the single front one, just cut it.
As for the aluminum ones, the dealer is your best bet. They are a pain to get installed as the ones I got didn't had the right shape when delivered (and it cam in a huge box so it wasn't bent on shipping).

Purchased mine from Autohausaz. As mentioned above, buy 2 fronts and cut for rear window.

I'm referring to the chrome trim on the front (and rear) windshield. Like on Jeremy's old e28

The trim is composed of several pieces. The front windshield has one plastic chrome trim piece (#2), two aluminum corner pieces (#4 & #5) and one aluminum bottom strip (#3). The rear one has four aluminum corner pieces (#8, #9 & #12), three plastic chrome strips (two #7 & #11) and one aluminum bottom strip (#10). See below:

Here you have one, you can contact the guys at Blunttech (forum sponsors) or your local stealer, err, dealer.
Also, please fill in the location in your profile so people know where you are from.

I went on autohaz but I could not find anything by searching window trim. I will try again.

I'm in California

Here you go:

They only show the plastic chrome moulding though so you will need to source the other parts rfom either Blunttech or other online original BMW parts place.

So would #51311820622 be the #2 in the image? and #51311820623 would be #11?

Yes, but just buy two #51311820622 and cut the one for the rear as needed. Its cheaper than buying all four different pieces.

cheaper at BMW. Try Bluntech when you figure out what you really need.
