400E Doubts with the reference of a spare part

Good morning

I've been looking for a replacement for my interior A-pillar trim for a while. Entering the VIN WDB1240341B993143 of my car, the reference appears:

A1246900325

My problem is that it is very difficult to find this reference and my question is if there is another more common compatible reference. For example, I found on some ebay sellers that this would be compatible:
A1246920389

Is it really compatible?

Sorry for my bad english

Regards
 
A1246900325 is the A-pillar trim, but NLA (No Longer Available) in all colors.

A1246920389 does not appear to be a valid part number, it doesn't appear in the EPC reverse lookup (screenshot below). This number may be cast onto the back of the plastic frame, which is why it doesn't appear in the EPC, it's a sub-assembly. The complete assembly with colored vinyl wrap is a different number (A1246900325 plus a 4-digit color code suffix).

Terry is correct, A1246900325 will fit all 124 sedans/wagons. The coupé/cabrio is different.

BTW, welcome to the forum!

Thank you for responding so quickly and thank you for the welcome.

Ok, it's a sub-assembly, but it's part of the entire piece A1246900325, could that be? So, should I take a chance and buy it?
My complete reference is A1246900325 9045 (Black), I have been searching for years and the few I have found are worse than mine.

My doubt was because I found some sellers on eBay like this one:


in which my model (e420 1993) appears suitable for reference A124690389

I think there are no differences between the v8 and the rest, in the A-pillar trim, or am I wrong?

All the best
 
Creo que el acabado A piller de los modelos 124 debería ser compatible. Alguien más puede tener una opinión diferente.

lol
Well, indeed, I replaced the A pillar, A1246900325, with a pillar from another w124, more specifically, with the reference A1246920389 and it was perfectly valid.



Thanks to the wise men of the forum Terry and GSXR
