Welcome to the classic catalog

I just purchased (aka had them order) a green strip non-RLS windshield from my local dealership, $450, they said there was 12 left in North America FWIW.

I've tried to order from multiple vendors, all say the cowl is in stock but never received it.

Went the eBay route and regret it. Really sucks.

I just ordered it from FCP Euro (shipment confirmed but not yet shipped). PN: 51718232894. Hope it's not OOS

On e39m, some parts got expensive. Some didn’t change. Worse on e39 than e46, because for lots of parts the BMW sticker part is the only option.

e.g… https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/bmw...z8-12311407440

I’m not going to be selling the e46, but this was no small part of why we sold our e39.

Oh man, this really hits home. Alternators and power steering pumps on the e39 are impossible to find right now. If you can find them, you are paying through the roof. Parts hoarding is quickly becoming a reality for long time owners.

I didnt realize you got rid of your e39!

I was interested in getting a front windscreen for myc ar as mines a bit chipped and tatty so the original one on my M3 is 51318236301 which is the green screen/green stripe.

I think im going to go ahead and order 51317019544 the Climate Comfort/Green Stripe/Green Screen Version due to the hotter climate here......

Thoughts? Both available in BMW Germany and are the same price.

Climate comfort unless you use a radar detector or similar device. Some people say that the coating will interfere with the signal.

From rdforum:

I have Ford's version of this on my car and it does not let any signals through. We tested with a uniden r8 and could drive up to the Ka band gun with no detection.

Ended up doing a uniden r9 behind the bumper for that reason but now my issue is that the GPS puck cannot receive with that coating and is not waterproof so I can't install it outside

From rdforum:

Yeah dont use radar detectors and dont plan on using one. Climate Comfort it is then. Cheers.

[ugaexploder]

No radar detector or laser jammers? Blasphemy.

It's showing as backordered/No ETA at the moment.

Interesting and I see that now too. I wonder if my order will get canceled or if I got one of the last ones? I'll update here.

Can someone please help me confirm the CC glass P/N for my car (JR21219)? My car is w/ rain sensor, auto lights and I guess I"m just "slow" in that I am unable to interpret RealOEM.

It seems that I would need 51317059703 whereas others here have ordered 51317019544
