    How much wider is an E23 than an E24. I think E12 stuff fits early E24.

    Thumbs up

    I think BavAuto ones are NLA, Weichers (sp?) were available in '17 last I looked.
    I make E23 parts.

    Ford, MB, and GM round out the pack.

    E23 is rough tape measure 3" wider between shock tops than E12.

    The polished aluminum ones listed here are the best I've found. They are Weichers. I've got both the BavAuto one and these and prefer the one from wallothnesch, the Weichers. The tube is a larger diameter.

    Sign up for emails and they occasionally have €20 to €30 discount. Shipping is €49 to US. Works out to be just a few $'s more that the $199 to $249 that BavAuto used to sell theirs for. You might find them a bit cheaper on eBay from time to time, but with the discount Walloth and Nesch beat any eBay price I found in the six months I shopped last year. You might find a used one if you are very lucky. Remember, that since we are in the US, we are VAT exempt, so look at the Excl. VAT price; you can change pricing to US$. I will buy from Walloth and Nesch again. Fast shipping.

    Now if I can only figure out how to get this shipped over for €49. LOL
