Hello there, I just got my e21 last week and I absolutely love it. The only problems that it has are that the radio antennae is permanently extended. I have tried greasing it but to no avail. Also the interior light doesn't come on, i guess it needs a new bulb and i am missing the glovebox torch.

If someone could point me in the direction of where I might get these parts i would be really grateful.
Oh, and I'm also after a new front sill that goes below the fron bumper if anyone has any ideas:)

Thanks for any help!

www.bavauto.com for all of the stuff you listed. You can find most bulbs at a hardware store if they have a good selection. I can even get those small dash bulbs at a sporting goods store that has a decent automotive section... Make sure that it's not the door switch that isnt bad, also.

The glove box 'torch' was an option. You can order it from BMW or bavauto. www.bmpd.com carries this stuff also, if you want an alternate source.

my local dealer is great at getting almost everything I've asked them for, if you have a local dealer. The prices are not bad either!

yes, join the BMWCCA and you will get a 10% discount at most dealers. with the discount, their prices can be good considering there is no shipping charges for ordering parts. also it is always smart to get in good with the parts guys. The glovebox flashlights and antennas go on ebay all the time, and all the bulbs should be available at most auto parts stores
