Can someone help me find a part so i can finish my bmw

[Kaleb]

Hey, I havent really introduced myself to the forum members yet so here it goes..i'm kaleb and ive been restoring a 1995 325is coupe for the past few months and its been 95% done for about 2 of those months..mainly becuase the parts i need are a pain to find..anyway I was planning on finishing it this week until I took it to the body shop thats doing my door handle--I had to put a new one in and to make a long story short this is my 3rd handle--including the one that came on the car) and so far i've spent $340 on my door handle(because the company i bought the broken handle from would not give me a refund even though their product was broken...so today i took it to the body shop to finally have a drivers side door handle put in(its a major inconvieniance to not have one plus i need to sell the car and cant with no handle) and I get there and the $180 handle i bought from bmw doesnt come with the nut that holds it to the door why..??? I HAVE NO IDEA!!!!! so now we have to find a handle ring nut as found on an e36 bmw(the nut that goes over the lock) if anyone can help me please do because this car has givin me nothing but trouble as far as parts go and I just want to get rid of it(I've got another one thats being shipped to my house right now which is why i need to sell this one...selling wont be a problem but getting the dang thing finished is about to make me shoot myself)

please help,
-Kaleb

wow what a drama, all over a bloody nut. thats pretty pathetic that they wouldn't give you your money back if they sold you a broken item. id name them and shame them mate!!!

hmm it was bavarian auto recyclers..they had three papers with the handle talking about the warranty then when I called about a warranty they said I could only have store credit, the problem with that is that 1, store credit is not money and 2, the body shop that was goin to put the handle on was the one who ordered the handle so the credit would go to them and it would be to much of a headache to get it worked over to me so i said screw it and now i have a broken door handle

thanks alot but the guy whos got my car said that he could get one it would just take a little while--meaning more than the few hours that it would have been had bmw put the nut that holds the door handle to the door on the door handle...that part i dont get, why in the world would you make somebody pay 180 for a handle then not give them the part that holds it on the door
