p.s. the car has a s50 95 m3 motor. Are the nuts and bolts for the engine mounts different from those of the s14? Hopefully this is the case so I can just go pickup a nut from the dealership as well...and if not what size do they usually use for the nut?

lol Kershaw I will never sell this car...it may be old and a little beat up, but this car is history as well as all e30-series bmws...Comment

Where in Va are you? There are quite a few e30 M3 owners in NOVA so you might want to network some. Yan-3 has an M3 and is in NoVa. I was till about 5 years ago, I have two.
RRT has a few Gary Martin has a few. Guys over at Curry's do as well.

Email them direct. If you looked on the automated site and can't find it, that just means it's not a stocked item in the warehouse I believe, but they have connections for OEM and aftermarket euro-car parts.
Great guys to work with, I use them exclusively to provide parts for my shop.Comment

hey everyone, blunttech decided to help me out. $99 for the steel left lower control arm and $145 for steering coupler/knuckle...not bad, thanks everyone for the help!Comment
-
lol I won't I'm going to attach some pictures so everyone can see a before and after time table...thanks again everyone who helped out...I would be clueless right now and probably would have spend $900 on a spindle that was irrelevant to the situation -_-Comment

Here is the damage.....:/
Comment

as you can see there is a small crack in the chassis along the wheel well but that isn't a big problem...the right fender is a little bent and the left one is scratched but they both can be refinished...the fiberglass bumper is cracked but I'll worry about fixing that or buying a new one later....the knuckle and control arm(funny how it is bent to less than 90 degree angle) are the primary problems here as well as the nut to the engine mount(green block)...the chassis has parts of red due to the accident that occurred awhile backComment

abs sensor wire also got ripped...Comment

It could have been worse...a lot worse. Be thankful."I'd probably take the E30 M3 in this case just because I love that little car, and how tanky that inline 6 is." - thecj

Did you buy this car out of NoVa about 4 years ago. There was a car that looked liked yours.
The subframe is bent as well. You are going to need oneComment

Looks like the strut tube itself may be bent as well.
That's some serious rot in the fender well, and most certainly a big deal. Now might be a good time to take the car down and have all the rust taken care of while it's out of commission..Comment

No this car has been around since I was a kid...i dont think the subframe is bent nor the shock and that crack and rust showed up after the accident...but yea I will have it taken care of....i took off the control arm and knuckle using some hand tools...how would i take off the support for the control arm tho?...that thing is ridiculous...photos are also attached
