best bmw motor builders/tuners in UK?

I know it's probably a futile question but (I'll ask anyway).....You wouldn't happen to have a drivers door would you? Colour not important (although Diamond Black would be cool), even a couple of dints no problem, just not any major damage and obviously no rust.....

sorry no door available I am afraid. Good metal parts are getting scares.

Uwe - I have admired your bespoke engineering from afar and no doubt the M3 community will miss you. Enjoy your new hobbies ! I look forward to seeing your parts.

Please come along and say Hello. Always good to put faces to names :-)

You're not wrong.

Thanks for replying. :D

depending on the condition of your car I wouldn't mess with a second hand door.
Most M3's which are broken for parts are in bad condition, otherwise they wouldn't be broken up.
But it's like everything in life, if you want to do a job properly it's £££££'s

When I checked new doors were still available from BMW (£325 ish). But I was told that they didn't have all the internals bits to match the electric window mechanisms so they wouldn't fit etc. Is that true? And would it look right?

I bought a new door a couple of years ago and it wasn't that much.

When a new door is supplied - all it will have is the aluminium reinforcement bar, nothing more. The electric window mechanism mounts to the inside of the door shell, not to any attachments.

You could even use a std door - but would need to fill the holes that will be there to mount the side moulding. Do-able push come to shove.

Nice one Dibs! I will get one sorted.

Where abouts in Yorkshire are you?
