    WTB: chrome door handles

    Looking for genuine BMW chrome door handle pair

    The outer part is still available new so mostly I need the actual handle part itself

    Anyone got any?

    They were like $400 each new, plus install. No one bought them, so you are literally searching for the rarest most unobtanium piece of kit ever made for the Z3.

    Most people got the aftermarket chrome overlays that just taped to the handle.

    Its your lucky day!

    White is Right, Steel Grey is OK, but Estoril is the only color that truly matters.

    Nope, I take it back. Those are just the stick ons that you could get for $20.

    Its a lot less surprising now.

    This looks to be the real deal though. You will notice that the whole part is chromed and not just the cover.

    So its kind of funny, I was on my hunt awhile ago and found those ones on the UK too and almost bought em before realizing they are stickers lol

    Then I did tons of research. I ended up finding out the passenger side was still available. Looked and looked and found one for a good price and bought it brand new. Now I really just need the driver's side. But I figure I may as well look for a pair, since most people selling one at this point are probably selling a pair from a parts car or reverting a car they just bought back to black

    I also want the chrome windshield trim if I can find it, although I am giving serious thought to just getting the windshield frame wrapped in a chrome vinyl...

    I know you are looking for an authentic chrome door handle pair.

    But another option to consider could be a chrome overlay made out of real aluminum. I did find one on eBay in past (sold by a Taiwanese seller) so I gave it a try. And to my surprise, I've found out that they look and feel more authentic (considerably better than the plastic ones) because they are thinner and sturdier.

    Not for me, but I appreciate the suggestion
