Jon, do you have a 325iT on your lot? Can you check the shape of the front corners?

The reason I ask is that I ordered some clears from Cutter (got them fast BTW!) but when I got them, I don't think they'll fit. THe seem to slope down, instead of up. All the pics I've seen (on www.bmwusa.com) seem to slope the other way (they slope up).

If you ordered clears from Cutter then they will be for the coupe or pre-2002 sedans/wagons. 2002 and on they changed the shape for the sedans/wagons and the one you ordered will not fit. Cutter will not sell you the ones you need since they are illegal in the US. You need to go through a importer who will get them from Europe.

I got them on our 2002 wagon.

I guess this is a bit strong, they would not sell them to me and anyone else that I know of :D

G*ddamn it! This pisses me off, since I've had TWO people in their parts dept. say these will fit my 03. WHen I got them, I was quite suspicious.

Are the corners exactly the same for the 02 & 03 tourings? If they are, then where do I get them?

They should be the same but I am not 100% sure. See attached photo for my 2002 with clears

Search the archives you should at least find post by me. Bekkars and Maximillan are the most common.

Jeff-

That looks SWEET! I'm getting a Titanium Silver 03 hopefully by the end of the month.

I believe that is the same front as the 03's but not sure. Can anyone confirm that this looks the same?? I've got to go through the hassle to return these.. :mad:

When I leave for Norway I am going to rename the "Dear Jon" forum the "Flame Cutter Motors' Parts Department Forum"...

:tsk:

Jon - didn't mean it that way - just interested in finding someone who's got an 03 Touring.

Seriously not relly upset with the parts people - just more intersted in how /where to get my clears.

Thanks!

No problem - I understand...

If anyone here has any issues with the performance of
our Parts Department, I kindly request that they be addressed
directly to Tony Cota, Director of Parts at Cutter Motors.

Tony's email address is tonycota@hotmail.com.

Thanks,
--Jon
