Just bought this BMW body kit

ganicki · 01-20-2011, 04:03 PM

Just bought this body kit--original BMW, and all I want is the front bumper. Anybody want to buy the skirts or the rear valance--will sell separately. (oh, no rear spoiler either-not included in the kit)

May keep the rear valance -- don't know yet. Make me an offer.

yep--but don't like the rear valance or skirts--$29 isn't bad--dont know how many sets they have-- also purchased a steering coupler--$48.61--$168 on penskeparts.com--

wdeerfield · 01-21-2011, 12:11 PM

itll be tough to find an xi that wants it as there are more FL xi's here.

Did you make sure you got the right part number? The steering coupler is different (and more expensive) for XI and non-XI models.

I just put the part number for the coupler in ECS and searched and it said $163, how did you get it for the price or the non xi E46's.

Hm, the steering coupler part number for XI's should be 32306754165 - which doesn't match the one on your attached image..

Can you tell us how to get in on this unreasonable pricing for the steering part?

And good luck with the sale of your body parts.

Because it says "Up to production date 09/2001". Guessing they made a change after that.
