Hey everyone,

I just called my local bmw dealership to inquire about a trunk finisher and the guy literally told me that he has no idea what part this is. My question is, are these trunk finishers listed as a stock part at every dealership or do only select places carry these? Im asking because i rather buy it from my local dealer rather than ordering it online.

So I ordered the Trunk Finisher from the dealer with the part number that's above since my cars already at the dealer body shop.

My SA calls me back today and say he can't order it cause its meant for an M5.

Well that's the point right? Then he say unless I wanna risk 600 or 700 hundred dollars on a part that wont fit.

So I told him to forget it!

My cars a 2007 530i is should fit right?
