Spare parts for my BMW

[k2chittin]

Hello all

 

Apologies for my lack of German. I know some of you speak better English than my attempts at using an online German translator so I hope someone can help.

 

I have a left hand drive 318is that I bought in Germany and I need to get some LHD specific parts. Can anyone please let me know where I can get parts from an independent place (ie not a BMW dealer)?

 

In England, we have 2 major independent retailers: German Swedish French car parts and Euro Car Parts. Both of these places sell parts which are about 1/2 price compared with the main dealers. I can get most of what I need there but I'm looking for a steering part (steering rack = Zahnstrange?) which must be LHD.

 

Thanks

Thanks 320cabrio. I'll upload pix soon.

 

I also have a E30 325i cabrio that I bought from a Munich doctor. I keep it as a summer car. It only has around 85000 km on the clock. It's a beauty.

summercar, that`s good.

 

but you can`t drive so much with an cabrio, because in england it rain`s so much, i think

 

joke...

Torben does not know the difference between Continental and British Convertible Drivers:

The Continentals do open the roof at 25 °C and sunshine

British open up when it stops raining :D

 

BTW: I do have a complete LHD steering gear left from my refit. Tomorrow I can make some photos, if You are interested.

 

I do not need it anymore, so You might get a bargain

 

Best regards

I've been away for a few days so I couldn't log in.

 

All this English bashing is wonderful ... I can also join in since I'm of Burmese origin. I agree about the English stupidity when it comes to using cabrios. You see mad Englishmen on a sunny day in the height of winter with their cabrios open, wearing heavy jackets, windows rolled up and probably heaters at full blast!

 

My "summer" car spends the summers with me in Klagenfurt so I can get proper use of it.

 

Hannes ... I'd be happy to receive photos of your LHD steering gear. I'm not sure what the protocol is - whether you post them to the forum or not. If not, you can reach me at k2_chittin@hotmail.com
