>Furthermore, BMW still supports their vintage vehicles, so many, many parts are still available on-line and/or through the dealerships. When I go to Porsche inquiring about parts for my '79 & '71, I get the "sucking on a dog-doo flavored Lifesaver" look from the counter guy...
Not that I fundamentally disagree, but you're just taking up the @#$ either way.
I just priced a trunk lid for my 73 2002: $850
A set of used door panels: $400 ! Hell, appbiz can sell me 4 RS door panels for that price !
BMW may sell old parts but sometimes I wish they wouldn't bother and aftermarket would take over instead, it'd be cheaper ! Mine:
And with the new wheels, from the good side (where no rust is visible ;-)
