[aztd]

anybody have a connection ?

What are you looking for? Dealer, Blunttech, etc can still get some parts(must have title if in USA)

Parts specific for the Touring are going NLA in a hurry.

Trying to refurbish a Touring (as I am now) is not easy.

B-Pillar alloy trim, hatch opening seal & rear bumper rubber moulding strip all NLA, and, what is available, as Mojojoy stated, you need to prove VIN & Title. No clue about this bizarre BMW business practice is about.

If you get parts from Walloth & Nesch (Germany) no Title is needed (at least that was the case 2~3 months ago).

I had great luck with the lovely people at Jaymic in the UK, who have a lot of time and sympathy for people with tourings. 

 

Michael Cahsel has a lot of touring spares too. 

 

There are often bits and pieces on uk ebay too depending on what it is you are after.

Are they asking for vin and title to prevent second hand sales?

No, they just won't/don't want to sell Euro parts to us wanting Euro goodies for our non-Euro cars.  It's even putting owners of Euro cars in a pinch to get replacements of their original parts.  We ran into this with E28s >5 years ago.

Since the part numbers are dwindling, they want to keep those parts for specified models. I can completely understand that. It was very easy to get the Touring specific parts through Blunt with a  copy of a Title.
