Bought a 1995 525i a couple months ago and the plates just came in the mail. I put the back one on fine but I'm having trouble with the front one. I know the front license plate strip that says "BMW" on it is removable, but how do I take it off to put on the front plate?
Thanks for the diagram. I got the strip off okay, but none of the holes line up for the plate. Is there some part I'm missing? Or is it the license plate that's off?
I think you need part # 12 in the diagram. Might need the hardware to attach it as well. Edit: Just checked the garage and I have the one that was on my 525iT. PM me your address and I'll be happy to send it out to you. PN 51 18 1 908 062
That'd be fantastic, thanks. I'm sure I can find some screws to put the actual plate on, but thanks again for the bracket. I'll send you my address
I always appreciate anyone being trusting, but as a matter of caution, it's probably advisable to not just throw out your home address. PM = Private Message, a feature of the boards/forums here that can be enabled by board users for private communications. You can also edit and delete your own posts after they've been posted. Just FYI - welcome to the forums, too!
Thanks for that, but when I went to send the message, it said Greg E34 wasn't set up to receive them. Is there any other way I could give you (Greg E34) my info? Or could you enable private messages?
Yup, of course if the other one doesn't have PM enabled, that does kinda make it a moot point... hopefully they'll see the post here and change that. I see Greg E34 doesn't have the 'CCA box/icon below their name, so I wonder if PM is a feature only for board members who are also 'CCA members? You might have to post the addy again publicly briefly until they acknowledge they got it..
If you're interested, there's a guy here locally parting out a 1995 with black interior. The '95 panels are the gathered leather ones that don't seem to delaminate like the earlier E34's. Here's the ad: http://memphis.craigslist.org/pts/2096086833.html If you want to contact him and work a deal for the door panels, I'll go get them for you. I also know of a set of the earlier door panels from a value package car (no wood trim) that are in fairly good shape. A friend and fellow chapter member is in the process of changing them out with a set of 1995 parchment panels that I found for him. Let me know if you would be interested in these. Greg
Greg, I contacted the craigslist posting and asked for prices and pictures. If the panels are a good deal, I'll be back in contact. Thanks for the generous offer. Jon
Good deal. A buddy of mine had talked to him some time ago about the door panels. I think he was looking for around $125 or so. You can get them in the local yards here for a little bit less, but 95 panels are few and far between. I ended up finding my buddy a set of parchment panels from a 95 so he passed on these.
