What's the best source for classic BMW parts?
I live in Saudi Arabia and own five BMWs, E23 chassis and the year of 1986 up 1986. All of the cars require extensive restoration and I am looking to get the full interior parts because I am planning to change the colour and all the seats and door panels and the floor mats.
Local scrap yards are very difficult here, so I need to look in Europe. Can you suggest some sources for the parts I need?

It's highly unlikely that you will be able to source the precise parts you need from specialists in Europe because this is an old model and at least 95 per cent will have been scrapped years ago. Your best chance is to try this website: www.e38.org/e23/
