WTB: Miscellany of odd ball parts

[Intense]

As I find broken or worn parts, I'll keep updating this thread...

OK, so I bought my iX about a month ago and it immediately became a project of proportions I had never known.

Anyways, here's what I'm looking for, right now:
-Oil level sensor...bolts into the oil pan with three bolts. Has three wires coming out into a connector. Not sure if it's the same for the iX as the rest of the e30's
-ABS relays
-ABS sensors (front)
-Pocket in center console (behind parking brake). Right now, this hole is filled with a six cassette holder. Useless at this day in age. I don't even know what else could be stuff into there. If you've got something besides a casstte holder, let me know....Also, I've seen entirely different center consoles where the area with the cassette holder is just a pocket. I'd be interested in one of these too.
-Inner and outer tie rod ends. As I've discovered, these are specific to the iX :crazy: But, if anyone has some good ones collecting dust, I need a set...for both sides.
-325iC front sway bar

That's it for now....

thanks

I have 2 abs sensors, $75+ shipping. they are ix specific, pm me if interested.

the 325ic front sway won't work with your ix. and the oil level sensor is indeed ix specific.

good luck finding used tie rods.. I would just man up and buy new ones. the ones for the ix last forever anyway, it's very unlikely that you'd ever have to replace them again.

Damn you have to rain on my parade with the sway bar news.... j/k Guess I'm back to square one with that idea....

Agreed on the tie rod ends, I've ordered some from the local stealership. Thought I might give it one last ditch effort before I shell out the hard cash for these. Looks like I'll be ordering that oil level sender, as well.

I'll let you know about the ABS sensors. Not sure mine is shot. I just know it took a helluva beating when I was trying to remove it from the knuckle...

btw... I MIGHT have an oil level sender at work that came out of an '88iX. I will look tomorrow and let you know. If I have one, I will let it go cheap.

try bma.com or bfbmw.com for the tie rods, the dealership is going to charge you a fortune (probably $200+ each) unless you know somebody in the parts deptartment.

Wow! bfbmw is the cheapest I've seen the tie rod ends for....wish I had known that before I ordered mine. But, I'm thinking I got mine for around the same price.

Question: do I have to drop the subframe to get to the inner tie rod end? I don't really see a way I can get in there, otherwise..

[nando]

I don't think so, just turn the wheel to full lock on each side to get to them. dropping the subframe is MAJOR work on an ix! don't even go there..

[Intense]

OK, a couple other things I'm looking for.....this thing:


It's the e-brake surround. Right now, the pocket next to the e-brake opening is a cassette holder in my car. Which is comepletely useless. I'm hoping someone has one lying around.

thanks

I have one. The catch is the vinyl is stripped. Otherwise perfect. Still need?

What do you mean the vinyl is stripped? Have any pics?

[Intense]

OK (update),

I need a catback exhaust now. OEM or aftermarket, doesn't matter. I just need something that's in decent condition. Prefer the SE, or south in general as rust is less of an issue down here
