Side Finisher Rubber Replacement and Rear Side Window Trim Replacement

[George Hill]

10% of 418 euro is roughly $452 usd which is the standard price on eBay fyi.

What percentage are people paying for tariffs on these? I'm thinking about ordering a set.

Hi all. Just like some others on this thread I found my way here from zhpmafia looking to source a replacement for the coupe Shadowline trim rubber on my 2006 ZHP. Was able to get Matas' email address and contact him today. A set is now up to 431 euro not including his 10% code. So my question is, are group buys on these seals still a thing? If one is planned, I can wait, otherwise will place an order with him. Thanks.

Is Marta’s the guy on eBay? Which pieces are you after exactly? The top one that goes all the way around both windows, or the bottom straight piece below the quarter windows? I ordered some a little while ago but ended up going with OE. So I just have them sitting here.

You can email him about setting up a new GB. If that does not work out, 10% code is your best bet.

Yeah never in a million years did I think I'd spend basically $3k on rubber trim. That's an airbox or a diff. I am not happy about it. But here we are. The rubber on mine is all rotted out, so not much I could do unfortunately. I could tolerate a blemish here or there. I bought the 4 out of the 6 pieces right away (purchased the car in Nov.), and I guess I "lucked out" b/c the big upper surround piece was $500. When the backordered one was available again they became $1500 each. So "lucky" me I ONLY had to pay $1500 for one.

lol. I'm learning that this platform does weird things to our brains. Somehow I am envious that you have secured six pieces of rubber and plastic for many thousands of dollars. There is something about knowing you have them, and no matter what happens, you've got 'em. It's really only that left one under the window that was unavailable for a while there that I really need. But I bought both sides just in case.

you're a madman! I have a tiny blemish on the upper part but couldn't bring myself to pay up for it

Yes! Thank you for that. Just arrived yesterday. With the big upper surround piece also being back in stock, I now have the full collection of 6 pieces. Only cost me $2800 🤪

51368194741 is back in stock in Germany with BMW. Some backorders with distributors were already filled, I managed to snag one from Bimmerworld.

Great call man thanks for posting, I was able to snag one from FCP Euro, shipped today.

You could do what I did and have the matte trim painted gloss black. Pretty easy work for a body shop to do.

I have only ever seen the gloss on ZHPs

The gloss finished trim is a very non-standard and rare option.

Understood, thank you for your help!

Hello,

Long time listener, first time caller. Related to this discussion, I wanted to see if there's any knowledge about the weatherstrip that runs along the outside of the door. On RealOEM, it appears there are two separate options - matte and gloss.

Google search told me that all M3's were equipped with the matte trim for this piece, and the existing piece on my car looks matte, but wanted to make sure (it may have been gloss when it was new and now is matte due to age - I am not the first owner). Did M3's also get equipped with gloss trim?

For reference, here are the parts I'm looking at:

Gloss: 51327890453
Matte: 51328227625

Any wisdom would be appreciated!

I believe it was an option or came on the ZCP M3's, but yes i do believe it was available for M3's. The standard trim was matte. This was standard option on ZHP coupes i think.
