Current Parts Supply

[LateFan]

I haven’t shopped for this car for a long while.
i didn’t dig all that deep, but I’m seeing big gaps in availability in basic maintenance parts. Example - Not finding much in reman rear calipers for the ‘86 es. I hate to devolve to buying from RockAuto. They have Nugeon remans.

But ECS, FCP, Pelican, the regulars - not too many parts listed.
Where are you all looking for OE stuff?

Thanks -

I visited a Pick Your Part junk yard a month ago.
There were 2 E30s.
The most interesting parts were absent as I came a day late.
But the engine and brake calipers were there.

There were several Z3s, almost untouched. Those were 4-cylinder models.
I believe some parts are interchangeable.

Have you tried bluntech?

Walloth and Nesch has some parts. They are not cheap.

Yup, I always email them and let them know Im from r3v and they tend to work a little harder to find what you need.

Also, if you are looking to just rebuild your setup you can get rebuild kits, or if you want to get crazy can send the calipers to PMB and have them rebuild them. Wont be cheap but will be done absolutely right and look great

They don't show any calipers for now. This is no show horse, stock and maintained is my goal for now (and maybe some cool pepita sport seats - I have new foams on the way).
