WTB Front Lip Corners w/air brake channels

[Mendi3]

I am looking for parts #28 and #31. Where can I get them? Anyone parting out an E34 540i?

Let me know. Thanks,

im in a similar situation.. i cracked mine running up on the front curb while tipsy.. (lss long story short) i called a dealer and got quoted for like $65 plus backorder/ special order ..i just glued it back together.. good luck

if a juck yard is in reach check with them first

My stealership wants $88 a piece for the corner lip and $19 for the air duct. $110 per side! It is crazy.

Good tip. I did not know that only this year's model had it.

Did you try Abrahams? I think they sell them.

BMA sells them. Thats where most of the guys picked them up.

BMA, that's it. Not Abrahams.

So that lip only came on 540s? I thought it was strange i havent seen many other E34s with the same one.

:redspot for another Tracy member.

It is rare. It is not the entire lip. These go on top of the existing lip.

So it is BMA as BMA Auto Parts?

My 95 540 has them, maybe installed by the PO but he didnt do much work on the car he was a dealer kind of guy.

Yes. IIRC you have to talk to Pat. Tell him your looking for the 540i brake ducts. You might have to supply a factory part number but that is where guys picked them up.

How do these attach?

Here's a DIY write up http://www.bmwe34.net/Wiki/tiki-index.php?page=540i+ducts

I plan to pull the bumper off to do mine. It would seem a little easier than working at floor level. Also, I pulled mine off a 740i and the e32's wrap around, so they flow a little better than standard 540i ducts, IMO.

Ugh. That looks like a pain in the a$$.

You can't just attach them to the bottom?

Not unless u have the 540 bumper.. otherwise u have to fabricate them... if u interested i'm selling the E32 ducts.. there similar to the E34 ducts but a lil longer

[bblazen]

I have em :D I just need #31.. but 11$ from the dealer is not bad.

Mine survived the accident... I'll let you know if insurance totals the car out.
