635 CSI parts?

[bmwdrivernigel]

Most parts are still available through BMW dealer network, and you will be surprised at how little some bits cost, its worth asking them first. I needed some bits for my old one and got everything new! Good luck.

Unless you need wings, in which case i recommened a good credit card

Really... we didn't even consider the dealer, though they'd have the discontinued the parts years back. Thanks!

The 635 (unfortunately!) is not mine but my mates, he has no internet access so I'm just seeing if i can find a few odds & ends. He's probably still freezing his nuts off in the front garden gazing at it, was trying to polish it the hail earlier on!

Its a beautiful car with a pile of history, the exterior just needs tidying because its been parked outside in central london for a few years

Purchased mine about four weeks ago, been looking for parts and bodywork every day since. Munich Legends seem very good. Just to let your friend know that yes some parts are cheap but many including the wings are expensive. Mirrors are also rare to find. I asked for new door rubbers and Munich said that most parts are available and the rubbers are £230 each side. (very expensive). Good luck finding.

Unfortunately- looks like it does! Loads of little rust bubbles coming though.

Are there really no pattern wings available?

A bloke at work's been looking for some for about a year - about £750 each IIRC

Try this lot too. They're second hand stuff is very good:

Started to get a bit jealous so I bought one for myself!

Thankfully my wings are ok, unfortunately the sills aren't (keeping up with the Joneses could get costly!). I think/hope my bodyshop can repair them; before I ask them, are the sills still available ready made?

Thanks!

Try your local BMW dealer, you may be surprised.

Ah ha, found outer sills for €39 on the german website a few posts above. Nowhere near as bad as I thought. Will give the dealer a try as well. Thanks
