    Got my parts and a bonus!

    Just got back, got the entire front of the car from in front of the shock towers forward cause they were lazy and it was easier to cut it there.

    For you guys near San Antonio this is a huge junkyard for BMW Mercedes & Porsche. They have at least 5 acres of cars.

    It was funny, like a wild animal adventure park, they take you in a wrecked but running car (in our case an 80's 240d Mercedes) that had front passenger damage so the flat tire rubbed but they didn't care. then it ran out of fuel so another that was full of tools & parts was used to push us 1/2 way back on the lot to the zinneberot cabby that was my hood donor car. the black one already had the engine radiator out so they cut it's front off for me.

    It's a family run business and the Mom that is the boss is really nice. Her name is Claire the place is called A&Js Auto parts They are in Von Ormy which is 10 minutes south of San Antionio just off the i35. 800-622-5810 is their #


    They even gave me the electric fan & the ac condensor! he he

    Gonna put that puppy in & delete the fan!

        odd,
        the black front end has euro metal bumper mounts on it, with a welded in bar for US Spec DOT Cert. Also has a Euro front metal valance for early bumper cars. You can sell that and make back some serious $$$$.

        Funky.

        Did you ever post pics of your car post accident? I dont recall seeing any?

          Stefan,
          he is right. If you weren't in MEX, I'd ask you to sell me that euro valance.

            Just the actual accident pic:



            Chris does it make sense the vin says it is an e when it was a cab?

            Remember I freaking still don't have the car back! Friday was three months. I intend to post pics as soon as I get it.

            Anyone wanting the valance I will be theoretically getting the car back this week (yea right) and it will go to the shop because it needs to leave the country in mid Octover (6 month temp importation)

            Dave did you get the tracking on your filter? it should be delivered on Tuesday.

              Nope, dont think there was ever an econo. motor Cabrio.
              It was probably grey market import with a VIN swap....

              Good luck with getting the car fixed!

                Theoretically I will get the car out of the impound lot today. It has to be taken to BMW to have them assess the damage so the Judge can put a price on the award.

                Thanks Chris!
