I was told that there were some E9 Front Bumper corners available. Not sure what to price them at.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Here is my pricing rule of Thumb when it comes to NOS parts that are still available from BMW. Real world pricing (not msrp) minus 25-33%. Believe this discount should cover the warranty and return policies from BMW if someone deems these factors as important.

For example: The l&r bumper ends are discounted to $533 @ https://www.bmwoffairfaxparts.com/p...51111811191&action=oePartSearch&siteid=214697 , so deduct Lets say 30% and you'll get a selling price of $373 or so. One needs set a realistic selling price, especially parts that are still available from BMW, otherwise, they'll take a long time to get rid off.

Thanks so much Bert.
 
for comparative purposes, BMW NA list is $675 each ... so 540 is a discounted price each. W+N sells them for an average of 380 euro each (different prices / side). even with the 49 euro shipping that's 810 euro for both. ($910+/- at todays exchange rate)

don't forget Tony, you will need the support rail for the rubber ... as they are made of normal steel, these things rust out, so you will need to buy new. 17.50 euro from W+N. another option for these rails is to buy stainless ones from Coupeguy (no idea what his price is on these). if you are going to the trouble of putting new ends on the bumper ... buy new mounting bolts ... W+N has a package of new bolts for 20 euro that includes the specialty bolts to put the bumper together plus the mounting bolts.
 
That's a smoking hot deal Tony ... if i didn't have a spare pair (not new), i would be jumping on a pair.
 
Are these the 72 and earlier or 73 only bumper ends? Even though they look identical, the underside mounting brackets (where they mount at fenders) are positioned differently on the 73's vs the earliest units.
 
its a good question and worth seeing a part number for. remember that only the USofA got those bumpers ... the 72 and earlier USA bumpers were 74 and earlier everywhere else.
