Have you tried BMW dealers ? They can be surprisingly affordable for SOME parts

Unfortunately am unaware of who is doing them outside of the $tealer...ridiculously priced items & unfortunately am in need of the right h/s strip myself.

Items #12/#15 I guess you are talking about...

Although a google search shows them to be anywhere between 150-300 $

You could always ask here http://www.bigcoupe.com/phpBB2/index.php. You'll probably find it very americanish but a few europeans post here so you might be pointed in the way of something in the uk.

Hope this helps.

..I had to buy similar seals for a W123 280ce a few years ago........almost nothing available outside dealers for low-volume models like that. And yes, they were v. expensive. But, hey, not if they last for another 20+ years, are they ?

You don't want to acknowledge that as truth because, deep down in places you don't talk about at the Green Party, you want me on that road, you need me on that road. We use words like freedom, enjoyment, sport and community. We use these words as the backbone of a life spent instilling those values in our families and loved ones. You use them as a punch line. I have neither the time nor the inclination to explain myself to a man who rises and sleeps under the tax revenue and the very freedom to spend it that I provide, and then questions the manner in which I provide it. I would rather you just said "thank you" and went on your way. Otherwise I suggest you pick up a bus pass and get the ********* ********* off the road”
