Anyone know where I can get the OEM carpet set for a E21? Im having a horrible time with Maximillion Imports. I dont want a copy, I want the original carpet that came with the car. I need both the interior and the trunk carpet for a 1980 323. Any help would be appreciated.

Al Canuck, does a set.
He owns his ownshop, and he is from Canada, and does an excellent job.
I am getting my black set through him, and I highly recommend him,

regards,

Mobile tradition? Not sure how to order from them, but I bet it's not cheap.

I ordered from them in March! Maximillion Imports is the Mobile Tradition rep here in the states, and they are horrible to deal with, unless its a part they have in stock.

Our sets are a multi piece, but I can do them in the original German loop.

Mobile Tradition is simply an arm of BMW. Phone your dealer.

Does the dealer still offer E21 parts? Can you recreate this exact set?

Mobile Tradition IS BMW. Therefore, any Mobile Tradition part is a BMW factory part, hence, ordering it through the dealer. I've restored my entire 323i through various BMW dealers, aside from a few aftermarket bits, and Worldpac(OEM supplier). You can order every piece of trim, every clip, and every nut and bolt through BMW.

Part number on an Anthrazit carpet from 08/1978 - 09/1980 is 51471917502

If it shows up NLA, we can create a 17 piece set, similar to the old 2002 sets, but in OEM German Loop carpet, yes.

The part # Al posted is the updated # for all years, it has the kick panels in the kit.
It was still avalible about 3 mo. ago. And I belive it is the only color left.

Where did you find it available?

I did a part avalibility check at the dealer I worked for.
The part was in the U.S. I just don't remember which warehouse.

I will check it again if you have no luck at your local dealer.

A reality that some of the dealers don't want to help out with the older classics, gives a bad taste.


Nice Alpina interior by the way!

I did also check with my local dealer and he told me noone in th country has it, so if you can find it and PM which dealer and their number, I would greatly appreciate it.
