Hi,

I have been trying to get a replacement sunroof seal. I found on realoem.com that it was part number 54128169710 that i require.

I contacted BMW and they have informed me that the seal has been discontinued and is replaced by 54107245551.

Is anyone else aware of this, the seal they supply now is for an E60 M5 I have checked with them and they are sure that I have the correct seal.

The new seal is not flock finished like the original its just plain rubber.

Anyone else had experience with sun roof seal part number 54107245551?

I just did a search on crownauto.com and it looks like your dealer has the right part.

<TABLE style="BORDER-BOTTOM: #ff0000 1px solid; BORDER-LEFT: #ff0000 1px solid; BORDER-TOP: #ff0000 1px solid; BORDER-RIGHT: #ff0000 1px solid" border=0 cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=3 width="100%"><TBODY><TR><TD class=titleText>Supersession Information</TD></TR><TR><TD class=tabletext>Part number 54128169710 was superseded by part number 54107245551.</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

As for the quality of the seal, i'm not sure what the difference is. What is flock finished? And are you sure the new one isn't flock finished?

Thanks, im now happy to install the seal i have been supplied with.

flock finish is similar to suede, the new seal does'nt have a flock finish its just plain rubber(may seal better?)

ill report back if i encounter any dificulties.

Cheers
