Welcome to the classic catalog

Prepare for higher prices.

Prepare for NLA parts too!

My miniscus is classic too

Yikes! I guess I need to start hoarding parts, grab'em while you can.

Been waiting 3+ months for a windshield cowl from the dealer. They have no ETA on availability. Nice.

I want OEM chrome kidney grills...

So from the comments I take it the move to the classic definitely equates to less parts being made?

It's Classic as per RealOEM catalog. Doesn't mean BMW care about us like Porsche with their Classic program

[Cubieman]

But has this move in realoem historically had a direct correlation to parts availability in short order or is more of just saying these are old cars?

I am a parts hoarder and need to make a list if we are going to see a drop off in availability quickly.

This is a bmw move— not a realoem move.

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.

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 mistakenly ordered a vert cowl and didn't send it back due to shipping costs. If anyone is interested its for sale but shipping could be expensive.

I thought I escaped the NLA monster/overpriced dealer parts coming from E28s, I can't run fast enough.

thanks

I heard the amazon one is really good
