Wanted Sill and handbook

[Johnwindwood]

Guys

I'm looking for a usable (Not holed or crumbling) pair of outer sills for our narrow body early car. Also, a drivers handbook for a 1997 would be nice. Can anyone help?

Thanks

I think I am right in saying the sills are the same on all models I have a pair of off my 2002 3.0l which need a bit of attention on front sill offside which I could get sorted if you were interested they are Titan silver but the areas needing attention would be in primer or sprayed in your colour at a price which I would have to get from my body shop chaps. Regards

Hi Geoff,
I think you’ll find the sills are different as I was told by BMW when I bought new for my car.

Might be worth a call to a dealer.

I was told that the only different parts are the wings but I will let the buyer check that out

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure narrow and wide sills are different-unfortunately!

I agree that they have different part nod. but contacted one of our Z3 experts who confirms that they are the same
I have a pre and post fit cars and they look the same to me

My understanding is that they differ towards the rear quarters. Yes, best for the buyer to determine.

Lee said that they are the same on all models if anybody knows he does . The chaps at BMW just look to seethe part no’s but have no real way of telling but as you say I will leave it up to the buyer

Unfortunately, the buyer isn't absolutely sure-which is why I want to check......

Here's my opinion into the mix I have a narrow body pre facelift and a facelift zed I just looked at them both as parked beside each other and I would say they are different.
They differ at the top rear where it meets the quarter panel to follow the line of the body ( and different width of wheel arch ) si can only imagine a narrow body and wide body are significantly different there as the wide body quarters are wider than my facelift.

All I did was look at real OEM.

edit: should of asked me sober. This is a wing not a sill
