go to the BMW group on facebook. And be prepared to remortgage to buy those parts. Ridiculous money these days

Check the Japanese shops/auction sites.. Brooklyn Machine Works was resurected from the dead by (i think) W-Base Japan back in 2020/21ish.. you're not going to find everything you want but the market isn't as strong over there so it's a lot cheaper.. everytime i used to buy something from JP, i used to tag a few sets of BMW bar caps into my order.. i got some black ano ones too.



Compared to my origins from 20yrs previous


They were retailing for 7500¥ (£40).. vintage were selling on ebay for £220 so i stuck the new sets on ebay for £95 and doubled my money.. I even sold a set to Indonisia

The post is recent.. you could buy them from Blue Lug

I think everything else is 90s - 2004 era Brooklyn Machine Works NY..

Pedals are a similar price to US prices on ebay

1.5 k for some handlebars .. absolute bargain!!

 

[Betsy]

It does sound like a bargain until you add Vat, international shipping costs and proxy fee’s

.. look in the bright side, domestic shipping is free.. free, I tell’s ya!

Thems bars is fugly anyway! Jeez, as is that saddle!

i thought the whole gist of BMW's design ethic was to be functional and very anti-pretty anyway
