Hi...Im looking for the interior door panel for 2012 Alpina B7 part number 51-41-9-160-825 and the piano black trim door handle part number 51-41-7-978-361. Anyone know a good source to buy these? The dealer is asking way too much. They can be used but in good shape.

Thanks

Any BMW 7 series item can be used unless it has an Alpina trim installed. Same with the piano black trim, although I imagine finding one from a 7 thats 'only' 5 years old will still be tricky

Is yours damaged?

Yes. where you put your hadn to close the door the rubber grip inside the door handle has worn away. Dealer wants $4k to replace the door panel. Looking for internet sources to get a new one. ive called a few places online and nothing so far.

They look like standard BMW part numbers so it might be worth looking out for specialist BMW wreckers or, depending on price, buying a complete car from copart.com?

Is this any good?

Thank you for this. We may be getting close. I attached a picture of my issue. Can you tell me if what you sent will work? I need the fix the rubber trim that is wore away in this picture. Will that part come with a new rubber seal?

Would it not be possible to get someone to re-trim it for you?
