The drivers side door seal (on the body) on my 2021 M340i has torn near the striker. Dealer says the part number is 51-72-7-497-912, and the list price is $219.33.

Found online from ecstuning.com and turnermotorsports.com for $160 with free shipping. A couple other places were cheaper, but charge $22-27 for shipping, so final price is still about $150.

Any recommendations on which site to use?

Also, has anyone else replaced any of the body door seals, and might know if there’s any tricks to it. I’ve done it on American cars (just carefully work the old one off and the new one on), but I know BMW always seems to be a little unique. This a single piece seal that goes all the way around the door frame.

Just Google search the part number and get it from the cheapest all-in price. Some places have really poor returns/restock policies, but if you're sure this is what you need, just shop on price.

I order all my OEM parts from either place you mentioned, or ECSTuning (same as Turner MS). Evan @ Tischer (GetBMWParts) has always given me excellent customer service looking up part nos. & such

Turner & ECS both now have lifetime warranty on all their parts similar to FCPEuro who has done this for yrs. So ANYTHING you purchase can be returned for full credit, even maintenance items such as oil, brake pads, etc.

Basically you but it the 1st time, save the receipt, when you need new you simply buy it again & fill out the return paperwork, then return your old item & they refund you the cost

I use ECS or BMWPartsHub (BMW Dealer) Their prices and shipping are usually good when ECS isn't.
