<P>I just priced the door gaskets from several sources. Don't know if they are OEM. Carl Nelson (La Jolla Independent) has them for $375 per side, Walloth & Nesch in Gernany also has them at $375 (dollar equivalent at $1.60 per euro) plus shipping. Not sure about Maximillian Importing--my wife has a call into them. World Upholstry also advertises them on their website. If I read it correctly, the price is quoted as "ouch."</P>

<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2><SPAN class=250501516-01072008>Is there any substitute to paying $475 for the rubber gasket for the driver's side door? Apparently, BMW had to re-manufacture the gaskets and a high price is the result.</SPAN></FONT></DIV>
