BMW E36 3-Series (1990-2000) - NLA & hard-to-find parts, remade to order
E36 plastics fail en masse - door pockets sag, vent fins snap, clips crumble at a touch - and because the cars themselves are affordable, owners are stunned by what the missing pieces cost, when they can be found at all. It is the classic cheap-car, expensive-small-parts trap. Our small-batch model fits it well: one engineering pass on your broken sample, then parts at sensible per-unit prices for you or your local scene.
Common problem areas we reproduce
- •Door pockets, pulls and their failed mounting points
- •Air vent fins and control wheels
- •Trim clips and fasteners throughout the car
- •Console and switch-area plastics
- •Small under-bonnet covers and cable guides

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 E36 3-Series (1990-2000) components to order - send photos of any part.

Is it worth reproducing a part for a cheap car like an E36?
When the alternative is no part at all, yes - and batches change the maths. One owner's sample can supply a whole club run, dropping the per-unit cost to sensible money.
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.
