Does anyone know if rear bumper parts for an 1986 euro E30 convertible are
available anywhere?  I was hit from behind a week ago and cannot find the
parts.  I live in the US and the dealers here state they can no longer get
the parts.  The part numbers I need are 51 12 1 888 276 and 51 12 1 922 162.
These are the chrome versions.  I've been told they are NLA, but I firnd
that hard to believe, especially in europe.  I was told the primered
(non-chrome) part is available (51 12 1 959 914), but my car has chrome
bumpers. I suppose I could always purchase the primered version and then
have it chromed locally.  I will pay for shipping from europe if that is
what it takes.

thanks for any help

It is very common for parts for various devices (cars, cameras, etc.) to be
NLA 10 years after the device has been discontinued.   This practice is
strange to say the least because the parts are discontinued just when they
are needed the most.
