Hey, so I'm trying to get front bumper clips from BMW but they don't seem to have them?

I think they're 14 on Real OEM: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/enUS/showparts?id=CH73-USA-01-1997-Z3-BMW-Z3_19&diagId=51_2328

I put the part number(51111908077) into BMW and nothing comes up and I can't find anything going through the options.

I found these on Ebay, just wanted to double check these would work?

Thanks
Have you got that roof on yet ?? To keep all this rain out. Geoff

I had a quote yesterday from BMW for these, I thought you had the part number wrong at first but checked mine and I sent 5111190877 which is actually 1 number short. I still got a price back though at 22p each, I need to check now if he actually had the correct part number. I had them eBay ones on my watch list nice to know they will also work.

Honestly I haven't had the time and the car is in underground car parking so it's safe from the elements :thumbsup:
Let me know how it goes when you do do it
Taking my 3L on a tour of Exmore this Sun day with Minehead Motor Club than on show with 300 others at Lynmouth sea front.
I am still trying to sell my red 1.9 if you hear of anyone looking:thumbsup: Geoff

Just getting around to doing the bumper, did you need/use a rivet gun to get the clips in?

I've also found a big distance (maybe 3 or 4mm) between the holes in the bumper at the front underside and the metal bumper carrier. I've had to resort to zip ties in a couple of places, the rivets don't seem to be long enough for the fog light holes, but they look exactly the same as the ones I pulled out :banghead:

Nope what I did is use a squirt of silicone oil on the pins and you can almost push them in with your fingers. On mine everything lined up proper no need for zip ties that's very strange

I was upgrading from the 4 cylinder to the 6 cylinder bumper but everything should have lined up the same. Right well I'll get some silicone oil and revise some of the rivets, thanks
