You can get these parts new. I wouldn't mess around trying to locate used sheet metal parts especially ones that most prone to rust. The floor pans are readily available and a repair panel is available for the wheel arches. The best prices will be Walloth and Nesch out of Germany. Great people to deal with and I usually have my parts within a week. You can also check Restoration Design out of Canada. They resell Walloth and Nesch. Just google the names and the websites will come up. Restoration Design has a good website so you can get the part numbers easily. Last resort check alfaparts.net. The quality and service is not as good but they have the floor pans. Good luck to you.

Jaymic in the UK sells new sheet metal too.

FWIW: You may also find out you need a frame rail. I've found these to be less expensive from the BMW dealerships. I've checked Restoration Design's website, and found their frame rail (a Genuine BMW pc) to be more than $250 *MORE* than my local BMW dealer charged me.

 

Read that last sentence twice.

 

Many of their parts exceed BMW North America dealer list price. I think they may have us confused with Porsche owners. Just a hunch. 

 

Yes I get great wholesale pricing, because I work at a restoration shop, but here's an example:

 

Left frame rail. $180.00. Genuine BMW. New. Ordered and received November 2015, in Pennsylvania USA.

 

Restoration Design currently lists this same part for $501.00 as of Dec 22, 2015. 

 

Yes: FIVE HUNDRED AND ONE DOLLARS. 

 

When I see prices like that, I send my $$$ elsewhere, even though their price on floor pans (which were never available from BMW as an after-sale item) are pretty decent. Spending $15-25 more on a floor pan, sold by a true supporter of our community means something to me, and I don't mind. Try wallothnesch.com for the pans. Fast shipping. Great service….a company in it for the long haul. 

 

I believe the rear wheel arch repair panels are available from BMW currently.

 

41 35 1 885 105 left / 41 35 1 885 106 right

 

About $60.00 each (a quick check with ECS Tuning reveals they are available)

 

Restoration Design lists them for $214.00 each. 

 

Your choice.
