Searching for rear quarter panels

[Steve Tan]

I'm looking for rear quarter panels for my April 1998 2.8 litre E36 M52 Z3. They are available from BMW UK, but at over £500 each that seems expensive when front quarter panels are available for about £100. Does anyone know of a good source of new panels? Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

Rear quarters will probably be dealer only for your wide body pre face-lift model.
Your best bet is to source some decent second hand ones .

Sorry, not got any pre-facelift wide body panels.

Thanks for letting me know

I have a drivers side, not a speck of rust but will need repainting as it has scratches,
£120 collected from TW20

 

[Steve Tan]

Thanks for the offer. Can I come back to you on this as TW20 is a long way away from me in Cheshire? I'll try to find something a bit nearer to me, but if I have no success, I may come back to you.

Thanks,
Steve

the guys at ClassicCoachWorks.org have a lot of panels in stock at different degrees of finish/colour. Look them up on here and give them a tinkle.

They are down in Hampshire too so might be a trek. They have lots of other bits and pieces too so if you know of anything else it might make the journey worthwhile.

Hi Steve, I’m in North Shropshire, so practically neighbours! I have a passenger side rear wing for a wide body prefacelift Z3 that I no longer need. Very good condition, no dings, dents or rust. Boston Green paint with a few scratches and blemishes that could be touched up or of course you could respray the whole wing in whatever colour you want.
It owes me £140 so happy for you to collect it at that price

 

[Steve Tan]

Hi,

Can I get back to you on this, please? I am following another lead which might lead me to all the parts that I'm looking for in one place.

Many thanks,
Steve

No problem Steve - I haven’t advertised it for sale yet so I’ll hold on for a while until I hear from you. In the meantime if anyone else asks about it I’ll give you first refusal before selling it to them.

I've spoken with the body shop where I'm getting the car done and we're going a slightly different route, so I won't need your panel. But many thanks for your offer, it's much appreciated.
