Get a price from BMMINIPARTS - (use the pricefinder)
BMWCCScotland

Nothing is as frustrating as arguing with someone who knows what he's talking about.

Managed to get a screen from a eBay seller for £117 delivered, he has very good feed back, it's due on Thursday so hopefully fit it at the weekend.

I tried the company called soft tops on the web and had no reply from the email or two phone messages, there loss

Sorry to hear your having problems.......................its the "told you so" post :D

Having done my anorak bit searching the forum i opted for a genuine window ( £150 delivered from Cotswold). these blokes are the most helpful in my area , the local Bristol dealer won't even attempt to match their prices and as for customer service ........................


We mananged ours in under an hour ( got it wrong the first time) , but i think the genuine part is a lot easier to fit from what i've read in here !

Totally agree genuine parts is the way to go, next time I won't make the same mistake, on the after Market ones you have about 100 teeth to choose from when lining up the genuine ones have a start point. :)

Soft-tops in London would have supplied and fitted for about £120.
