E85 Hardtop Removal Tool

[SqerrNipz]

Anyone have one of these spare by any chance? Just bought a hardtop but the chap doesn't have the removal tool. I know it's basically just an allen key with one 'thinner end' but I'd like the proper tool if possible as I'm a little nerdy and pedantic :lol:

Cheers,
Tony

There was someone on here who was making them a few years ago, might be worth searching the for sale Fred's :wink:

Good luck

I don't think you will get them but fingers crossed.

I think there was a glitch last night with BMW stocks as on that site you can order Aero parts.

So I googled and Hubauer (Germany) and Pelican Parts (States) have aero side skirts in stock which are websites I would trust to order from.

Managed to put an order through to checkout at Hubauer for side skirts painted in blue for €566 delivered but failed at payment. Now you can no longer find them on the site of Hubauer and Pelican Parts.

Actually Pelican Parts have them showing on their website again:

I'll be fascinated to see if parts-central comes thru. Very few companies can be bothered to deal with the UK post Brexit, particularly in Germany. This lot are based in Romania so fingers crossed.

We will see, I’m not entirely convinced but paid through paypal so in 28 days if they’ve not shown up, I will just claim my money back

What site did you order from ? The ebay link says he wont post to the UK ?
