WTB: Pre-Facelift Trunk Lid Handle

[DJAM3]

I know it's a long shot but I'm looking for an early trunk handle in titanium silver.

[robgill]

i may have one, do you know the part #?

Early handle meaning that’s the style you want or open to the later model also? They both fit, I have a later handle available but it’s in alpine white.

I don't think they're interchangeable, the trunk is different too.

Early:



Late:

I don’t have any pictures of the stock trunk, but mine didn’t look like that. I was swapping to a carbon and switched between the two handles to see which I liked better. Both fit on my stock trunk if I remember correctly without issue

I have the early model trunk.

[robgill]

Yeah sorry mine is the late one... which i bought a few years ago when what I actually needed was the early one.

You can still buy these from bmw. Replaced mine last year and had it painted. A used one will never remotely match.

[DJAM3]

Yeah, I saw the new replacement part. I'm just trying to avoid spending the extra for paint.

You'll spend more in the long run when the used replacement cracks or breaks.
