Where are we going to source slicktop headliners?

Well no one rat them out if they doing us all a solid!!! Ha

Yeah I remember getting one of the last Euro headliners in the US in early 2021 so somebody is ignoring or getting around that rule.

Interesting. My bumper, windshield, Euro headliner (no alarm dome) all supposedly shipped from Germany in early 2022.

I sourced mine via:

https://www.bmwpartsdirect.com/

...which is local to me so I just picked everything up from them. Some items took 6 weeks to get from Germany. Others took just 3 weeks. I didn't order everything at once.

Is that a new thing? I've ordered a Euro bumper, for example, and other Euro parts through my dealer in NC.

If there is one in the US then you can still buy it. There will be items bought and never picked up. 2019 was the start of this bs rule, there was just plenty of stock in US warehouses. Now that has run out. BMW seems to be changing for the worst at the moment. This definitely reversed my decision on buying a new one a while back. There's a few other things I won't go into so I don't turn this into a BMW flaming thread. From the looks of it, only European shops are the answer for this unless someone wants to GB euro headliners. Not sure if that's even worth it.

...because BMW won't let US dealers order Euro parts from BMW.

It must've been in stock at another dealership because BMW won't let US dealers order Euro parts from BMW. $619 sounds right though.

51442699065 is the euro headliner and will fit a US car if the sunroof is removed. I installed one in my car back in January sourced from my dealership for $619

Just checked ETK and 51 44 7124314 shows cancelled. Hellgrau is still in production but not schwarz. Sunroof headliners have plenty of stock and are still being made. Besides cosmetics, they should still be ok to use. BMW is really shifting focus on newer cars. Checked stock and there are none in the US.

They just went nla and the only option is a beige/grey slick top (if they just hasn’t been remarked nla yet). I’ll most likely be trying to order one sometime and reupholster it I guess.

[Casa de Mesa]

Have they gone NLA? I ordered mine thru my local BMW dealer and picked it up 3 weeks later after it was shipped from the motherland.

Like many of you, I would love to have a CF roof installed but these slicktop headliners are pretty much impossible to find.

Do we have any other options outside of praying and hoping one pops up in classifieds?
