Drivers door seal for e39 B10

Post by KennyP » Sun Jul 25, 2021 9:00 pm

Evening All, was playing tourist over the weekend around St Andrews and was getting lots of whistling from the driver's door. In a nutshell, the main seal that goes around the frame of the body for the door to seal against is kaput. I've had look at the usual suspects/sellers online but thought I'd ask if anyone has a recommendation?

Cheers,

KennyP

Genuine BMW……think I read somewhere you can use one off a rear door so might be able to get a used one as they don’t get worn out like the front ones but suggest you verify yourself as I bought a new one a few years ago

Cheers Barry, rang the main dealer and they will have it for Wednesday. £88 was similar to online prices that I could see and if there is an issue then easier to return etc. Thought I'd ask about the cost of a new MAF (dunno if it's ever been changed); at £450 I think I'll be shopping around on that one....
