You can buy most of the weatherstrips new from BMW's.

E.g. see this website: http://bmwfans.info/parts/catalog/E12/S ... rip_front/

Which one are you looking for, the one that seals the glass at the bottom of the window or the window chanel that the window runs up and down in? About a year and a half ago I got the seals at the bottom from Pelican parts, not too expensive, I think the window channel is still available and there's a lower cost kludge in the FAQ on it too.

Both of the seals/weatherstrips Mike mentioned should be available at BMW's, so you should be o.k.

In fact, all the door and window seals (except rear outer door seals) should still be easily obtainable. I know, because I bought all of them not long ago.
