Another NLA Part. Need Help.

[Kipjames3]

Looks the like euro shorty kits just got pushed back to Sept of this year as the next available date which probably means they'll be NLA. Was wondering if anybody had any leads on where to find a new kit? Any help would be appreciated. I need to stop waiting and just buy things apparently.

Edit: I was searching with the kit part number and getting those results from ESC and Turner. I was able to found some shorty consoles still in stock at other places but went ahead and bought a kit from ESC via eBay. We'll see if they cancel it or not.

I bought one of those consoles from Bimmerworld not too long ago. I don’t know what the “kit” has but you can probably just wing it with the hardware.

I've had really good luck with getting NLA / Delayed parts from eBay Latvia. I got a few of the CSL intake components that way. LINK

There's also some new ones with mark up from US sellers LINK

I was able to track one down not that long ago, but the inserts with the sliders are pretty hard to find. I couldn’t secure one so I got one of the open euro inserts, still keeping an eye out for sliders, mainly cause they look slick. I’ve heard functionally they are kind of lame. Apparently in Europe people like to swap in armrests lol.

I have another slider with a brand new slider door… was going to send it to get it redone by TexaZ3 and then put the brand new BMW slider door on it. Shoot me a text!

Wild. I must have gotten one of the last ones from ECS. Arrived last week. I see on the site it now says September. Since I missed out on the OEM windshield cowl, this may be a small victory.

Pelican says they’re still available - I just bought mine in Jan of this year. Here’s all the part numbers you’ll need to do the swap (all that is in that “kit”) -

Center Console, Black, Short style for models without armrest

Part #: 51-16-8-234-154-BOE

Ashtray Holder Bracket

Part #: 51-16-8-235-570-BOE

(2) Body Nut(2004 BMW M3 Coupe)(m)

Part #: 07-12-9-904-220-BOE

Don’t be surprised if there’s a random Bluetooth module in your arm rest version that won’t fit any bracket - I taped mine to the inside of the new center console and it fit fine
