NEW in box 1974 BMW Fog light guards
- Thread starter STLE9
- Start date
$575 for a pair of headlight brackets??? you're kidding - right? there were tons of these on 320i, etc. sure you don't have the decimal in the wrong place. if they came with the fog or driving lamps - i might see it.
best of luck ...

Find me a current comp of a new old stock set. I do not know the current value but I have to start somewhere.
the first thing to consider is that only coupe owners with big '74+ usa bumpers would even want said brackets ... or '74+ 2002, 320i, 530i+. most of the latter would not pay much for them. don't think any coupe owner with small bumpers would let them get anywhere near their coupe (holes in the bumper). so my point isn't how rare they might, or might not be ... its the question of how desirable they would be ... and that will set the price. and most of the latter group will just buy something new and much less expensive.
good luck -

RSPORSCHE is probably correct...
I think on these that Scott is probably correct because they are for 74 and later and not a hot ticket/super desirable option...
Has anyone looked to see if they are still available from BMW?
My experience with E9s and the E9 parts is that in most cases this stuff Ain't worth all that much... At least not yet.
Vintage NOS or rare parts for Porsche, Ferrari, Mercedes, etc is a whole different story! They get insane ( and I do mean INSANE) prices for rare parts!
For example,
Recently there was a set of Alloy CSL doors and Alloy hood hinges offered and they sold ridiculously cheap, like around $380 per door... I personally sold a used alloy rear engine lid for a 73 Porsche 911 for $3,800... Used Porsche 911ST Alloy doors for a 911 would be worth $10,000-$15,000.
But apparently ultra rare BMW parts like Alloy CSL doors are worth sh!t... Why is that?
