Sean,
is this the trim you are looking for? they aren't that expensive new - 63 bucks from getbmwparts.com / 68 from ecstuning ... and 38.24 euro from w+n. i can't guarantee that they fit ... i know i have a pair of rear belt trims that don't come close to fitting. i do have both sides of these that i think are in reasonably good shape - are 46 years old though. my guess is that the only person who is going to make money is the freight company. have you checked with double02 salvage, coupeking or lajolla? since the new part isn't that expensive, it is doubtful that they will be expensive - especially if you can drive and pick it up.
i hear what you are saying about being months out at the dealers ... give w+n a shout ... their shipping is expensive for only a couple of things ... but tends to stay the same when ordering several things. check out what you need - they have a 20 euro discount for a couple more days for orders over 200 euro. which brings the freight bill from 49 euro down to 29 euro ... and their parts prices are much better than any american supplier.
its a bit painful ... go to realoem.com ... switch to classic models and find the 2800cs / 3.0cs and find the part you are looking for ... then put that part number in on getbmwparts.com or ecstuning. the prices on realoem are not accurate or up to date. sometimes higher than bmwna list and sometimes much lower ... rarely correct.@rsporsche do you happen to have the links to the items at getbmwparts or ecs? I ask because I could not find them. Getbmwparts does not allow a year model older than 1980 and I looked the through all exterior items on ECS without luck. Note also that W+N only have the driver side. The passenger side WAS available at about 165 Euro compared to the 38 Euro Driver side. I state WAS available because upon checking noted that the passenger side is currently not listed.
