BMW junk yards

[azzkikr]

Anyone have a good sources for a junk yard that has BMWs? I have spent all afternoon calling around our local yards trying to find parts. I would ask each yard for references too. I only found 2 E30s in the area and I called about 20 yards. Both the cars were automatics so that didnt help me. Anyone know of a good BMW yard in the midwest? Otherwise you west coast guys got any resources out that way? I would prefer not to ship the parts out but at this point that seems like the only option. If anyone has any good leads at all that would be helpful. I cant believe it is so hard to find anything.

bret (rigmaster) has a sweet yard in good ol NC if you can't find another closer one

EuroDepot is really good (local for me) BUT do tons of mail order.
FWIW what are you looking for?? I have 2 Parts cars. Scott (BimmerFan) has bout 6 @ his place

Post up a WTB on this board, and some of the other E30 boards and I'll bet you find what you need.

I posted a few times on this board without much luck. I also lurk on the e30tech.com board. The problem is I am looking for M30 engine stuff which is less frequent on here. The engine is used in everything but I cant seem to find any parts at any yards around here.

I am looking for injectors and the manifold brace for the M30.


Do you have a number for the euroDepot... maybe I can check them out

Isn't AZZKIKR what it said on that DEA guy's Corvette Stingray's license plate in Con Air?

glad to see someone else so close to home. Not as bad as the M5 board. Most guys are from the UK.

Anyway call up Hans Auto Parts if you havent already. Their nice guys. the number is 763-441-0707
Try french lake if you havent already, dont know the number off the top of my head.
There is one more I believe but Id have to ask a buddies dad. Also have you tried car-part.com?
What is it that your searching for?

whoa wait, you need the stock injectors? Whats the manifold brace? (pics pointing it out). PM me, I have a complete e28 with an M30 that Im tearing apart and then building for a turbo setup. Ill get new injectors so if you want mine ill give them to you (send me an offer).

The intake brace is number nine in this diagram

Its just the support brace that attaches under the manifold to help hold it up. I lost it taking the engine apart

How does $50 sound for the injectors and brace? Also I need an E28 radiator so if you are getting rid of that let me know. I might also need a few sensors. The crank position sensor on my car broke on the plastic connector. I will probabbly just solder it together and call it good but I might need that too.

Where you located in MN...also do you know of any good yards in MN that you go to?

Sure is, watched it the other day! Great movie.

[azzkikr]

Yeah not far at all. I play hockey in Bloomington all the time. I could swing by and pick them up. Let me know what works.
Lets say $45 for the injectors only without the support brace. I dont mean to be a haggler but I dont want to overpay either. I just found another person parting out a car that might sell the brace radiator and injectors. Its always better to buy in a group :-)... I will keep you posted on how that turns out

Your injectors are from a 535i right. Didnt the 533i use different injectors?

Possibly my favorite movie.... right up there with transporter.
