Aero side skirts?
Small update.
A right side has been located, though appears many have gone AWOL between computer stock vs stockroom & from their ringing around seems a common problem.
However, one dealer has a fair bit of experience of sourcing NLA parts via Germany, by making a special on request re-run when they have had sufficient demand.
The current plan is this Dealer is:
- making the necessary request & identify the threshold on required numbers
- we will then have a go / no go decision
- if ‘a go’, a left / right Aero price inclusive for direct postage to U.K. would be provided
- Forum members would be given the BMW contact details where they can place their order and pay the BMW dealer direct, meaning there would be no ‘middle man’ (we concluded this is the safest method for all parties)
I’lI let you know how we get on...

Great work Jem and thanks for the update
You’re plan sounds excellent and well done finding such a helpful dealer to
Hopefully BMW will agree to do a re-run.

Same, although the price would have to be a sane fraction of the cost of the car!
Thanks to all that have had a dig around.

I can gauge interest on zpost forum if a minimum order is needed to ship to the states.

how do I find out who has the leftie?
Do you have any idea where they are?
I know I can order the righty from various online store, but the left, they all responded saying it's NLA.

The info I have is they have 12 of the right side (-80) in their BMW Pennsylvania warehouse. The US dealer also told him the last time they ordered this part was November of 2018 from Germany (-81) and it came in awaiting customer, but system now shows NLA.fryh1n wrote: ↑Sat Jan 05, 2019 5:38 pmhow do I find out who has the leftie?
