Proper e34 warning triangle? cannot find one

[Russell]

I have tried to buy a BMW warning triangle for my e34 with no luck. I tried the dealer and BMA. They both say it is unavailable. The e34 part number is 71601179041. Is there any sort of cross refrence to which warning triangles will fit into the e34 trunk tool kit/box?

E-Bay has several but they look a bit different than my etk illustrates.


For that matter I would like the "polishing cloth" but is not available either. I just want to finish my trunk tool kit :)

and it fits fine in my e38 trunk tool kit.

I just cannot tell which triangles will fit in the e-34 tool box. There appears to be many styles. I suspect any of the 5 and/or 7 series (perhaps otheres) from the mid 90s should work. Think I will check my etk. I will also keep looking on e-bay. The proper triangle will come along.

junkyard????

[Russell]

I have yet to find a junkyard in central Kentucky with many BMWs. Also many/most of the american BMWs did not come with the warning triangle, as i understand it.


junkyard????

[winfred]

yea they don't trust us with fire bottles reflectors or med kits in the usa, i think these guys can get crap like that http://www.partsforbmws.com don't bother signing up for the catalog i've been trying for years and wating for their site to be built and it's never happened


junkyard????

Hey man i am in europe, i can get u a thousand of those stupid little warning triangles for E34, i have 2 of them, and i can go to the junkyard and get more let me know if u are still looking

[Russell]

How much to get the correct one (must fit in the tool kit) for a 95 525i e-34 and shipping cost to Lexington, KY 40502.

If you want to contact me off-forum you can do so at Plan1@insightbb.com. BTW, I can never tell if the ones on e-bay will fit in the tool kit and I hold off even bidding.

This is great! Little things like this make me happy. I know get a life :)

Wow, maybe we should do a european "group buy" on warning triangles! I think I have maybe one or two of the tools left in that tool kit. I wonder where they all end up? My E30 was the same way, only one or two tools left in the kit. Someday I'll have to get motivated and re-outfit the tool kits.

i'm in :D

[califblue]

I'm in , it is the only thing missing from my tool kit :(

[e34it]

It wont cost me much at all to ship the triangle, let me see how many i can locate at the junkyard and i will let u all know, i know there is like 7 or 8 e34 at the junkyard i go to so hopefully i can pick up a few

[Russell]

I want one!

[e34it]

its the one that comes in the little sleeve right?

[Pwr2spare]

If originality is not an issue. I picked one up at our local Dollar Store for you quessed it a buck. It looks good and fits perfectly in the 525's tool kit.

[Russell]

My etk does not show a sleeve for it. It looks like it folds up and slips into a slot in the tool kit and is held in place by a strap. As I am not home now so I cannot check my etk for a part number for my 95 bmw 525i. However, I can this evening, USA eastern standard time.

Thanks

Doesn't show that it's in a sleeve, but I'm assuming it's some sort of plastic wrapping that it comes in. Online ETK page attached.

hmm...this is an interesting about that auction:

"Note:These parts are not in stock, they will be ordered upon payment of winning bidder and shipped within 48hrs of receiving from supplier. "


i thought you can't get these new anymore?????

[DonC]

Got mine from Maximillian Importing - these guys are the best.

[e34it]

thats not an real one for an e34 on ebay the ones im telling you come in a plastic sleeve, like hard plastic then they tuck into the toolbox and held in by a velcro strap, that is a knockoff

[e34it]

Ok guys here is the pics of the triangle that came with my car, i am assuming this is a BMW oem part, so here they are. Just follow the link.
