Seat trim panels
 

Hello all, new here and would appreciate any help. I did try and search first and didn't find anything.


I am in need of some trim panels for my newly purchased X5 (2012 35iX black interior non-sport) I am missing some lower panels for the drivers side front seat and it is driving me crazy (looks like they cover a lot of electronics). I have found what I need, I think, and RealOEM has them listed around $20 everywhere else I am looking at $80 per piece. Does anyone have a source for trim panels that isn't out of control. Why they are missing is a mystery to me.:dunno:

Unfortunately, the prices listed on realoem.com are very out of date and much lower than you can find anywhere. At one time they were going to start selling parts online but that never happened.

I use a site called furiousmethod.com. Enter in the part number and click Go. Opens up a bunch of searches so you can find the best price from known suppliers. One they haven't fixed is for Husker BMW which I've found to be the best dealer price around. Their site is bmwdirectparts.com

Thank You, I figured that was the case, I will check it out

My understanding is that the Realoem prices where original MSRP prices way back when the underlying BMW parts catalog was first published.

FWIW. Short answer is that they arent real prices, today.






So one day you just came out to the car and they were missing?!? Odd.
