Genuine parts

Post by marinaman » Fri May 12, 2017 11:39 pm

Found that Ebay has a genuine BMW parts and accessories site
Here is the link, while looking through i saw you can get the little black rubber things that sit in the running boards for about £1.60 each

That is expensive. I got them at stealership two years ago for 25p each.

As I say, go to a dealership. In this particular instance it's much cheaper.

It appears that some chimp was daft enough to buy one as well (It wasn't me for a change!) Mind you still cheaper than buying the rubber bump-stops for the tailgate.... which didn't cure my annoying rattle  :(
