Man, I've been off the BMW boards for a while. How many of you guys even know who I am? :lmao:
I made a big decision last week: I'm keeping the Bavarian Princess forever. Bought out the lease; just signed the papers this morning. One day, I'll be the proud sole owner of a 15 or 20 year old bimmer, just like the wackos who write for Roundel.
Yeah, I always like a new car, but I like THIS car just as much as the day I took delivery (June 1, 2000, BTW). Trying to keep costs down as a result of a major home renovation, so I was faced with this choice: (1) $20,000 for a new car, or (2) $20,000 to keep the Princess?
I've babied the car, doubled the recommended oil changes, kept her washed and waxed and the inside in good shape. So that, my friends, is that.
Now for the hard question: I have a 2000 323i, standard CD stereo (not HK). There are two speakers in each front door. A large one down near your ankle, and a tiny one up near your knee. My problem is the tiny ones.
The tine ones have a black plastic trim ring around them. Both of those have shattered, leaving half a ring, and an exposed edge of leatherette where the ring is missing.
1. I can't find the part number for those trim rings.
2. Alternatively,anyone know ifan aftermarket aluminum replacement is available?
