Thanks man. Im looking hard. But I guess it's good to have them hard to find. Makes the car go up in value when you finally get one. Have fun doing the body work on the bumpers the 3 bottom lines are a pain in the butt to sand.

So shinny. Are those New ?

I can't wait to start working on my e30 again. Still waiting for the M62 conversion to be completed. I already have the Mtech1 kit sourced and waiting to find the time to go pick it up. I just ordered all of the hardware needed to install the Mtech1 kit. Already have new Euro chrome bumpers and hardware. Things are coming together nicely so far. Bought my wheels/tires, but still need to purchase coilovers and all suspension wear items. Of course I am doing a full color change as well so as soon as I get the car back, I will start a build journal on here. I guess I could take some pictures of my parts so far...

Not new, but in really good shape. I think they look much better than the painted ones. Fit pretty good too:)

Love the color

Just found out today from my local BMW dealer that I can order European parts for my euro E30 from any dealer in the US. The only thing is that I need documents proving my car was imported to the US legally and I need to fill out forms for the parts that I need and why. This is interesting because I've been told many times that this is not possible by many dealers. The guy in the parts department told me that he worked for a company back then in 85 that imported E30's and everything he described that had to be done to certified them I had in my car. This is great cause now I know I don't have to go nuts trying to find parts.

Nice find
