Hi all,

Yet again, I am in need of a replacement "lower engine compartment cover" for my E39 540. The part number, unfortunately, is 51712498990. I say "unfortunately" because I cannot seem to find one less than ~$230. The last time I did this, I could get it for about $120. Is this accurate? I know the E39 is getting up there in age, but I would also expect that these parts are commonly broken, and readily available. Maybe my expectations are misguided. Is anyone aware of a more cost-effective source for these things?

Thanks
