Need Help Finding Accesory

ThePoonTang · 12th August 2012, 07:12

This doesn't really pertain to the E39 or any specific car. Im not sure if I should even post this is WTB thread, but I have been looking for this specific lanyard :Parts and Accessories | Stratstone Doncaster - Doncaster | Authorised BMW Dealer

So far I cannot find anywhere that sells it outside of the UK, and inquiries made outside the UK won't be accepted. So if anyone knows anywhere that is selling in the states, and link would be greatly appreciated......or if any UK members want to help me out; that too.:P

Turner motorsports carries things like this sometimes. I remember buying a similar lanyard from them 3 years ago.

Interesting it appears to be an anywhere but north or south America.
In case you don't have it, in blue the part # is 80300447785
Reading this doc BMW Motorsport Collection for BMW Overall
It should be available anywhere but it seems to only be available in Asia and Europe and down under. Very strange.

I think he is saying he will go buy one for you and then you can pay him back via paypal and he will mail it over to you.

I can't PM until I've amassed 50 posts

I went to my local Sytner this morning and they reckon it's no longer in production unfortunately. He's given me the telephone number of a dealer in Scotland (Motherwell I think) that according to his system, has one in stock. There's no answer on that number at the moment but I'll keep trying.

Thank you very much for going out of your way to find this for me. Greatly Appreciated.

I haven't forgotten

The telephone number I was given by my local dealer of the place that apparently has one in stock doesn't seem to go anywhere. Phone rings out every time.

I'm heading back there for a couple bottles of coolant tomorrow so I will double check the number and see if there's any way they can request the item from the other dealer within the network, so I just end up paying my local for it. I shall not be defeated
