WTF do you call it???

[cmy_bimmer]

I just got done talking to the parts department for BMW and I tried to describe to them the part I needed. I wanted to get the window moulding for the coupe that usually rusts. I was planning on taking them off and repainting them myself, but I was afraid of damaging them.

I tried my best to explain what I wanted and she was confused as hell. So near the end she said "I think the part you are looking for is the door seal" WTF!!!!:confused:. She qouted me at $73x.xx dollars!!!!!!!!! I was about to scream until my veins exploded but I just said "thx, bye".

So if I were to call back and ask for the part, what would I tell them?


Unless you guys know what im talking about, ill post pics of it later.

TIA

I don't know if these are the parts but this site should show you what you need. It has almost every part on the car with part numbers and suggested prices.

First, RealOEM.com is a GREAT site to use. If they don't have the name of the part just google the part number. It's an easy way to get a part name and look up some prices.

Thx, that would save me some breath and time :D.

You don't need a name, just go on RealOEM and get the part # and give it to the parts guy.

Once again, Chadwith the 3rd. is right.

No wait.......Chadwith the 4th. Ah damn! I pulled a Chad again!!!!!:cry::bawling:

im pretty positive pelican has them for much cheaper than the dealer

[cmy_bimmer]

Sorry for making you guys search it, but is this the right part #'s? I dont want to order it and end up buying the wrong part.

Yes cheaper on line but shipping brings total much higher. Bought pax side drip rail from dealer and it was only $66.00 all in. They had it available for pick-up in two days. It looks like it was shipped direct from Munich to the dealer because the DHL tag said it was shipped out two days prior. It also came in a very very very large flat box, had to fold both back seat and move pax seat forward to fit into the car

Oh ok, so it was $66 for both of them? On Pelican, they were running for 16.50 each making it $33. I doubt shipping would cost much on these, so ill give it a try...

No, that's not what you're looking for. I believe you want #7: http://www.realoem.com/bmw/showparts.do?model=BF33&mospid=47484&btnr=51_2060&hg=51&fg=05&hl=26

Um..... Isnt that that seal on the inside of the car? Sorry, its the trim that goes from the front window (by the mirrors) to the rear window. Is that what # 7 is?

[E36 Phantom]

Good call. I forgot the trim was one piece, that probably is it.

Yea that's it. I think ima have to pick that up soon. Does anyone know if I would have to put some type of sealant on it?

Chad I know you knew what I was talking about, but possibly forgot how it was setup :dunno:, its the effort that counts :thumbup: :P
