BMW E30 3-Series (1982-1994) - NLA & hard-to-find parts, remade to order
The E30 is a cult platform with a global scene, and the hunt for its small plastics is a running joke that stopped being funny: dash vents, glovebox hardware, exterior trim clips and grommets are heavily sought and increasingly NLA. Clean cars deserve better than zip-tie fixes. We reproduce these components from your originals - including sun-baked, brittle ones - in materials chosen to survive another few decades of daily driving or show duty.
Common problem areas we reproduce
- •Dash air vents, fins and their pivots
- •Glovebox hinges, latches and interior hardware
- •Exterior trim clips and moulding fasteners
- •Grommets and harness seals through the body
- •Console plastics and switch surrounds
How it works for your E30
- 01Reverse-engineer
We rebuild the geometry from your original sample - broken is fine.
- 02Design & improve
Weak features are corrected in CAD before manufacture.
- 03Manufacture
Produced in the right process and material for the location on the car.
No need to ship the part - a quote starts with photos.
We work on BMW E30 3-Series (1982-1994) components to order - send photos of any part.
Request a quoteFrequently asked questions
E30 vents warp in the sun - will a reproduction do the same?
We select materials with better UV and heat behaviour than the 1980s originals, so the reproduction resists the sagging and chalking that killed the parts you are replacing.
Can you work from a broken or incomplete part?
Yes - fractures, missing tabs and warped areas are normal. We reconstruct geometry from the remaining features, the mating part and symmetry.
Is there a minimum order?
No. One-offs are welcome; small batches simply cost less per unit.
How do I start?
Send photos, rough dimensions and the vehicle details through the contact form; we usually respond within 24-48 hours.
Your project stays yours.
Every part we reverse-engineer and produce is confidential and exclusive to the client. We do not resell, share or reproduce a client's parts for anyone else unless the client explicitly authorises it. NDAs available on request.
