Leather upgrade bits for the Z

Post by oakley6691 »

I'm in the the middle of sorting a few upgrades to my car, so far i've ordered a V1 Storm Motorwerks gear knob, Fitted some German pressed number plates, I've also bought the leather center console sides from an Ebay seller in America at a very good price (mega bucks at the $tealers), but my problem is i've also ordered the left inner door handle in leather as per the pic.....

It was very cheap but the seller did tell me in advance he has no right door handles, does anyone have one of these to sell or know of a breakers or good site where i might get one....Cheers in advance

Well my mate is the manager for the parts department at Trainer BMW(Swansea) and we have an account with them, he said they retail for an amazing £130 - £140 per side, but will try to sort some extra discount for me, but i'm still hoping i can find one cheaper. The seller from America did e:mail me to say he had no right hand ones but he may still have some in at a later date so might be worth holding on for a bit.

i think your better off getting your m8 to get the one u need,
if theres discount going...
As ive been keeping on eye for that seller on Ebay and he never has the
other side, i've been watching for 2 years!

then okay you might have to part with more than you want...
but equal it out between the both sides & you have had a bargin really.

I also bought one. Great deal.
I think it was under $20 a couple of years ago.
They only have the left as it's usually that driver's side that gets damaged :lol:

I agree with you, I will wait until it's in my hand (no pun intended) before I order the right side one...cheers
