Tilbo 0 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 Hi, I'm looking for the little white clips which fasten the sill trim piece onto the sill. Looks like I need three. Car is an e46 msport sedan. I have tried at Jerry Clayton's but they couldn't help me, couldn't give me a part number either. Any help would be great. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

will 169 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 http://www.vehicleclips.co.uk/ I have bought plenty of trim clips for all makes of cars from these guys, don't have a full selection but have most of the usual suspects. If you can't find a BMW specific one, you can normally find one from another make that will work. Delivery is quick as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
my_e36 43 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 Definitely the dealers will be your best bet. Try Team McMillan in Newmarket. I find the parts people there a bit more friendly than JC's Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I find the parts people there a bit more friendly than JC'sI must admit I have only tried JC so far, guy there said I have to buy the whole trim piece for $247 in order to get the clips. I shall give the other dealerships a ring. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

_ethrty-Andy_ 2122 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 you are better off to get the part number yourself and tell the dealer what you want. the dealers should but dont have time to search for your $2 clips. they will all be available through your dealer if you do the work. (dont think you will get a discount in thier margin however) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
allan 295 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 (edited) Try here http://bmwfans.info/parts-catalog/E46-Sedan/Europe/325i-M54/R-N/jun2001/browse/vehicle_trim/cover_for_rocker_panel_wheel_arch/. Just a word of caution the main clips holding the skirts on for a M sport are different to a Standard skirt set up. If that is the clips you are talking about.

hotwire 352 Report post Posted February 14, 2015 ^^^^^^ That is different trim to what he is talking of Allan. Having to buy the whole trim is bullshit. I would also bet the trim comes without the clips too. Took me about 3 minutes to find the clips & part number of: 51471840960 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
