Classic BMW owners get their own online shop

[BlackE90]

The latest model, the quickest, the finest, whatever else you may want from the newest BMW you can have that in just about any town during regular business hours.However, if you’ve been bit by the nostalgia bug, you’ll find that getting spare parts for older models is a little bit tricky. We’re not talking one or two generations behind but the origins of BMW.

The Bavarians have thought of this and decided to set up an online store where you can get original parts for whatever classic BMW you have. You can even get spares for a classic motorcycle.This new shop is available only in Germany right now and can be accessed through two portals, be it the English one or the German one for their homeland.Expansion of part availability throughout Europe will happen sometime in April of this year. It seems that this spring is something to look forward to if you have a classic BMW in your garage.

BMW didn’t say anything about North American availability any time soon but we’re guessing it’s not going to be too much trouble to make it happen.Before anything, you’ll need to register at these shops so you can view the full classic part catalog and that sounds like a pain.It is worthwhile though, BMW will not only make the parts needed, but also inspect every one of them before delivery.

At this time, the BMW Classic part catalog includes 35.000 items and can help owners of any vintage bimmer built between 1960 and 1990.

Is this from the automaker itself or from some blood sucking middleman who do sourcing and custom build parts to bridge the missing gap? This is brilliant and I'm sure a premium is charged.

1. replace wear and tear components / materials in engine bay / undercarriage. Budget: depends. can span from RM 50 to RM 10k according to the way this car was looked after before.
2. give the engine bay a thorough wash (waterproof the critical components first - AFM, distributor, spark plugs, etc etc). After that apply engine detailer / tire shine solutions onto the rubber materials and black colored components. trust me you'll love the results. Then apply some brasso Sac Longchamp / autosol onto metal colored components. Budget: < RM 30 for DIY job if you don't damage anything during the process.
3. new tires if the one you have is old enough. Budget: RM 800 - RM 2k according to your preference.
4. refurbish interior / reupholster seats, steering, etc. Budget: < RM 3k for a decent job.
5. refurbish the wheels. budget: < RM 600. Less than RM 300 if you don't mind sending them in directly to the refurbishing service providers.
6. New paintjob. Or at least some good polishing / Sac longchamp soldes waxing works. Maybe some touchups on the grille. Budget RM 300 - RM 3k.
