many many thanks.

I got mine (Sills) from Rybrook BMW, Warwick, good price, good service. Clips bolts nuts etc from ebay or Sopers BMW.Lincoln. Sopers also good, but won't deliver mail order bulky or delicate items.
To change or remove sills, go to technical knowledge base for info.



Bonzo.

Ordered mine On-line; delivered by Ryebrook; £60 cheaper than BMW dealer. Spotted a Z3 in a local supermarket;car park; got talking to the owner and he told me where he had his sills replaced. Result: two new sills replaced; also fitted new brake calipers on front; two rear springs and took the car for it's MOT as well. All for less than £500 excluding sills which I supplied. Over the moon!; and made a new friend as well.

I paid £143 each for the sills from Ryebrook, via Online Carparts in Germany; plus postage (£30 ?) (sorry; cannot find invoice)

Paint and materials (Screws, Waxoyl etc,) was £40

Labour (removal of old sills, rust proof inner body sills; spraying and fitting of new sills) was £80.

Total £436 approx (no VAT!)

Hope this helps.

Thanks Martin. Think I might just go with the body shop quote as mine is fine apart from a huge dent!

If your sill isn't badly rusted like mine that would appear to be the best option. Good luck!
