You can get similar/same fasteners from ebay or other automotive fastener sellers.

Also, for nuts and bolts (and maybe some equivalent auto screw etc) try Francis Kirk in Denton, just down the road a bit from Darren Wood. I get a lot of nuts and bolts for all kind of things from there, they have a trade counter, a big bag of nuts/bolts/washers usually only comes to a couple of quid.

I had some similar screws in stock but that complete panel if bought new in parts would be a fortune from BMW £500ish!!

You must have a goldmine there Thing is though, they are probably just a self-tapper with fixed washer.

Crazy, the prices obviously bear no relation to the production costs.

On that subject, I did have a nice surprise today and found that rear droplinks are cheaper from BMW than Eurocarparts (£8 vs £10ea)

Noticed that my new seat belt had no stopper for the buckle so went to fit a new one to find you need a special crimper so spoke to BMW who said use a soldering iron and just melt the plastic pin flat

parts #7 and 8

New wax samples arrived today,

[Dave P]

I don't need the Concours wax so if anyone wants to try it rather than buy a full size (jar 226g £190/200) then I will sell the sample pot which is 56g for £55 inc UK postage

Indoor cover arrived from Italy including seat covers and steering wheel cover all with M logo,

Hi Dave- do you have a working link to the company's website so that I can order one of these? I seem to have found lots of broken links. Also I noticed someone else had the word coupe under the M logo- was that not available when you ordered
