WTB 128i Caliper Dust Boot (Or Whole Front Left Caliper)

blnk-128 · 04-19-2022, 08:46 AM

Looking for a 128i base caliper dust boot ASAP. All distributors are out of stock and I’m looking to replace before a track event. Let me know if you have one, or a spare left front caliper for sale. Happy to pickup or pay for shipping. I’m in Brooklyn and driving down to VA on Wednesday.

Part No: 34116766683

You also checked FCP, ECS, Bimmerworld, and so on? At a glance that part number shows up and doesn't say out of stock.

I would guess you already checked but - just to be sure.

135i's have a piston upgrade kit, I know it's a different caliper but - any chance they are the same size pistons and seals?

Call Bimmerworld and ask. They're incredibly helpful with things like this and if they have it, shipping is next day via UPS ground in VA.

This is piston, ring & dust boot. Less than $50. Same part used on many E9x so everyone should have. FCP Euro does.

I'll see if I still have my stock calipers. I thought I saved them, but I have no idea what happened to the box.

Yeah they’re different sizes unfortunately. FCP, Turner, Bimmerworld, and all the dealers are out of stock as well. More stock is coming in from Germany in a few weeks.

Check car-part, plenty of junkyard 128i you can grab a caliper from. I see some in Philly, NJ, and MD.

Thunderguts · 04-20-2022, 10:10 AM

Sorry, I can't find my calipers. They must be in a box inside hidden somewhere in my storage unit.

I have a LF caliper (really looking to get rid of the whole kit see craigslist ad link below) that I'd be willing to ship. I'm located in Colorado and could probably get it in the mail by tonight.
