Reading the restoration and discussion threads on here it appears lots of members are always asking about where to source new rubber seals, e.g windscreens, doors, boot and so on that need replacing from time to time.

Assuming you were to respray your coupe and replace all the seals and that they were still available is there a one stop shop to buy a set for a whole car?

If not do other members think there is some merit in throwing relevant links and advice in the one thread?
 
There is no one stop shop for all the rubber.
What makes it so hard is that some rubbers go NLA for a while, then pops back up while some others go NLA.
Also, even if they are available, the shape and fit of some of the rubber is just horrible, useless. So then you have to try another source for that rubber.
I'd say you can't be in a hurry if you want to replace all of the rubber on your car, it'll take time to source/find all of it, in good quality.

Primary sources are BMW, W&N, Ebay. Then CoupeKing and Carl N/LaJolla for some specials maybe.
I'm sure I'm forgetting some good source, but maybe others will chime in.
