Rear quarterpanels E10

[Mich]

I'm looking for left and right rear quarterpanels for E10 '71. Without rust and that thing which is for filling gaps (i don't know the word in english. I guess it's primer, but i'm not sure). I'm in Bulgaria (East Europe) so i'm looking for somebody who can send them here.

The word is "Bondo", which is body filler. Primer is the base coat of paint. Don't apologize for your English, it's much better than our Bulgarian.

Are there no sources for quarter panels in Europe?

In my city we have 3 local BMW dealers. But the prices of the BMW parts here are very expensive. One rear fender here is around $750. I don't have $1500. In the ebay sites i found nothing. I can't buy used ones here, because most of the 02's here are in very bad condition. My 02 has a lot of rust too, so i'm looking for parts without much rust and Bongo, because i'll have to fix and repaint it after 1-2 years. In the other sites for 02 parts i found only front fenders. (if you know some sites where they are in stock, please PM me).

So that's why i have no choice and i'm asking here

Mich,

They're available here new from the dealer for about $1000 USD!! I don't know the price for good used panels, but try 2002haus.com or 2002AD.com.

Forget shipping them from USA, there's plenty available in western Europe with reasonable shipping costs to BG. You might even find some in Greece, there's plenty of 2002's there. Uspeh!

Mich,

did you think about a partial repair? Mostly the upper parts of the quarterpanels are not damaged. There are repair metal panels available in Germany (where I come from).

Maybe take a look at www.wallothnesch.com .

From my point of view it will not be easy to find a parts car with good rear quarterpanels in Europe. Cars with minor or no rust might be found in Greece - that´s correct. Or maybe in Italy or southern France. But as we have to fight against rust here in Germany or the rest of northern Europe the market is not that buyer friendly. Many german folks do import cars to avoid whelding orgies. Meanwhile the Greeks or Italians do know what they have even in the last village before world´s end - with remarkable effects on the prices.

Best regards, Lars.

I know this site. And i found only front fenders there. I sent an e-mail agan to 02again. If his fenders are good, without rust and bondo i will get them

Look here:

http://www.wallothnesch.com/e/body/body02.htm

Sheet metal parts in special offer at the moment.

And download their catalogue and price list. Complete rear quarter panels (and nearly everything else) to be found there. Panels also expensive though.

Do not fall on the floor when you hear about shipping costs from US to Bulgaria. According to my estimates you will be able to buy new quarter panels at BMW with no problem for the outcoming amount.

Regards, Lars.
