    If so, did you do it yourself - did you order a matching lock or what? If you took it somewhere - who fixed it and how much?

    Getting tired of having to go around to the passengers side to lock the car...

    That should be a pretty DIY job alexj, I think you should get a new one and put it on yourself. Try searching for 'door handle trim DIY', Robstah wrote one for the E36, it *should* be similar.

    Have you tried trademe? theres usually a lot of bmw parts on there... failing that just try team mcmillan bmw or jerry claytons or similar.. most parts are still available.
    I just got some clips for my 85' 735 that hold up the blind for the rear window, & only 3 bux each !

    I was a BMWCCNZ member for several years, but pulled out a couple of years back since the club wasn't going anywhere (Wellington branch). Is it getting better now? Any Wellington branch members here?

    Currently looking at purchasing an 1989 318 manual, minor frontal damage (lights, bumper) for $censored around $censored US, will be the first car I work on, will just want to recondition and rebuild it to its full potential and maybe even turn it into a club / targa car.

    Still living with my parents in Auckland, mums drives a 96 E36 in Cosmoswartz and dad drives an E38 iL in Boston Green.
    Cheers Andy.
