OEM rear glass shows still available, $435 on RealOEM

I checked with my guy at BMW of Sterling and he says they are in fact NLA even though RealOEM says yes. It could be a situation where the supplier produces in batches but there's no future availability date. He also checked other dealer inventory and came up goose eggs. He did provide an aftermarket...

I hope you're wrong cause I'm about to order one. RealOEM says they're available:

Calm down CBRadio, I was just pointing out the value of OEM support. I would have suggested an alternative if I had one but this is likely the only choice.

Hello All, Just ordered euro bumper parts for my 79 528i.

Hey CabbageFumes - are you able to share your source? I'm about to start collecting the parts for a euro bumper conversion on my e12.

Glad to hear you found the issue. To your original question about injectors - I used this company for the injectors on my 225k e46. Made a difference in drivability and fuel economy went up 2 mpg. Fast turnaround, 17 bucks an injector, they provide before and after flow rates: http://www.mrinjector....

I got my rear parcel shelf carpet here, german wool loop and a very close match. He has complete carpet sets as well:

Thanks Jeff - I found the old post and they're good tips. I'll dye mine for now, the rest of the headliner is too nice to disturb.

tlake - was the Sanden a direct fit? Better performance than stock?

I'm refurbishing my entire AC system including an R134 conversion. Anyone have experience with fitting the larger e28 condenser for extra cooling capacity? Or aftermarket?
