Re: [bmw] All points bulletin for 1988 528 driver's seat

[Robert Chase <beostar@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yikes!,

A 1988 and they are not stocked.  Scary.  You can buy littereally ANY 
part for any post WWII Mercedes Benz car.  Some weird stuff has to be 
ordered from a central warehouse but they even stock interior components 
for my 1982 vintage car.

As for where to get your seat.  Try "Alpharetta Autoparts" in Alpharetta 
Ga.  They specialize in junked BMW's and Honda cars.  Im sure they 
probably have a lot of older 5's.
