Hi, looking for some advice. I am after a genuine BMW new or very good used front driver side wing for my E86. Checked the usual places (eBay) for used without any luck. For new am I best just to go through a dealer? I can't find a new one online with BMW.
Any advice very welcome. Thank you.

The eBay used ones vary in quality but given that it's a 14 year old car you need to expect that. You can get replacement new ones from eBay (not sure if they are pattern to be honest) but factor in the cost of painting.
I waited ages to get a montego blue one but it eventually popped up. Has a few scratches and needed some dents sorting, but much cheaper than a respray.
Fairly straightforward to replace but best to mask up the panel.edges where they meet other panels to stop new scratches.

Should post a WANTED thread on here; it’s amazing what people have stashed away. I’ve been looking for an offside wing for ages with no luck but I have a spare bumper in the garage.

Thanks for your reply. I am in no rush so probably will just keep looking until the right one comes up. I am assuming the wing is the same for the E85 and E86?
