Hi folks I've got the dreaded tinworm in my offside sill, been advised to replace it but having trouble finding one. Real OEM shows it including the b pillar but just need the sill. Can anyone help?

Thanks

I also couldn't find genuine, I'm doing a bit of a mini restoration on my E39 M5 at the moment and have some aftermarket galvenised sills on order so I'll report back when I pick them up at the weekend what they actually consist of. Were only £48 the pair so unsure on fitment. I'm having them welded in to replace my rotten jack points etc.

Thanks, are they off the shelf or made to order?

They're off the shelf parts, they're from Auto Crash Parts Ltd in Bolton. Will report back when I've got them and put a pic up

Picked up the sills today, quality looks OK and they're galvanised. Not bad for £48 the pair. Sorry for the rubbish pic, you get the outer skin section and the part that goes underneath and into the door jams, welds could be hidden by the rubber seals in the doors.

Don't happen to have a link to them? Can't seem to find them.

Yes they're not listed on the site so will need to ring them. Mine were ordered from Germany so took around a week or so to arrive.
