I need the complete hood rubber seal for my 3.0csi and need the window switches. Hopefully, someone here can help out.

there are 3 long seals under the hood, which do you need? there is the one at the hinge point of the hood. there is the one at the back edge of the engine bay / firewall (has the kinks at either end) and then there is the one that wraps around in front of the windshield.
it is hard to find most of these as used pieces ... w+n sells all 3 of them new (prices in euro plus shipping)

And without knowing which year you have there are two different window switches.
although the thread title says he needs 5 pin window switches ... so i assume his coupe is very late '73+ ... but that would be worth verifying so he gets the right switches.
BTW - the chrome side grilles ... are still back ordered. they are not yet listed as NLA, but nobody has any. the part numbers are 51131827283 + 284 ... the price from getbmwparts is 89.16 each ... a little more from ecstuning ... but no stock. w+n does not have any of these either. if you have old metal ones where the chrome is peeling off, you may want to just have them rechromed.

Thanks for the info on the chrome side grills but I had the black ones that were old and snapped so am definitely looking for chromed ones. As for the switches I do have the 73+ model as it has the 5-pin switches that are more expensive.
As for the hood seals, I need all 3 as the old ones were all cracked.

you can price the seals with USA dealers (take the A off of the part number) and you will see what it costs to buy them here - check with getbmwparts.com. shipping from W+N is 49 euro ... so you have to save a lot to go that route ... or join in with others to share the love.

Thanks for the info and it definitely is the cheaper route than W+N overall
