    Same I'm going on 3 days now

    303 protectant ? I may have to start using it on my Z4 that sits outside a lot.

    ill probably end up buying a spare set of the weatherstripping for the E46 for a rainy day

    One thing is for sure, I will be conditioning this rubber with a q-tip at every wash... any recommendations on products? 303?
    Better off not touching it. Just spray some 303 on it and let it soak in before washing the car imo.

I personally would pay up to $200 per side just for OE replacement lol

    I think matt may work for the supplier? I don't think the average joe can convince these guys to start reproducing a part for a 20 year old car. Also what happens if BMW finds out?
    They will laugh at the E46 peasants

    Same here. At this price, it's worth a try.

    Thanks for setting it up Maxima, freaking Euros waning, ended up paying $136 to get it to ~120 Euros. 😎

    It's the OE part, what's the worry or unclear part? I'm not being snide, I want to make sure this is simply a factory part swap, no extra work needed.
