euro grillz, easy to fit in your luggage and can make $60 a set if not more.

I'll be expecting at least one.... if not two of them....

LOL, dude, that thing is awesome. I'll keep my eye open for one but to be honest, I can't see one of these being found at a junk yard. I'm sure anything like that was prob parted out before it ever got to the yard.

Keep um coming.

Seeing this is reminding me that when I was at a local junkyard, the e30 i found had one of those intergrated radar detectors.

Since you're offering... get me one of these (preferably an original Alpina).... I'll give you $$ for it...

And if you find two, I'd take a spare.... $$$

Hey guys. I'm leaving tomorrow and what I got from everybody is that if I do decide to waste a few hours while I'm there, that I should only really go for small parts.

I'll prob just look for late model bumper strips, a check panel if I can get it in Portuguese (That would look pretty cool), maybe some smoked Hella's if I can find the real ones and maybe smoked taillights.

Let me know if you guys can think of anything else if you haven't already had some input.

I'm avoiding anything over 40 pounds because max luggage is 50lbs. If I do find something big, I and at a really good price I might just pick it up and see about having my family ship it over at a later date.

I agree with you cmpletely on this but I was thinking of possible used replacement parts that would cost me a whole lot more here in the US. I have an IX and while I believe the US got 5000 or so, Europe has a great deal more so items such as a front differential or transfer case might be something I could find there and bring back.

Any pointers on getting the parts back into the US? I was thinking of calling the airline first and possibly customs to make sure I follow procedures. It appeas the most experienced person with regards to bring stuff in from Europe is too busy attacking me to give me real advise so I'm not to sure what else I should do.

Shipping will quickly kill the sweetness on that deal...

Why wouldn't he do it? The summer before last, I took a trip to Germany. I spent an entire day in a junkyard pulling tons of parts. I filled up 4 suitcases and used all of my clothes to wrap up the parts to keep them safe in the suitcase.

don't waste your time with anything you can order through your local dealer...

I would try to grab some euro smileys and an Mtech1 wing

i'm not hatin', just annoyed at people that cant get more creative with search parameters than europe and vacation... what kind of ... alright, i'll hold my toung. This topic has been covered a couple times in FULL and if you look through the for sale section in the euro threads, theres LOTS of ideas.

sure as hell not a hater - ive been twice in the last couple years and ended up shipping a couple crates in a container. It makes for interesting money. how is it worth it to waste youre time in a junk yard looking for a german check pannel when you could be off exploring something a little more to europe than automotive parts in another language. ...its just a suggestion

prove me wrong though, i'd like to see when youre a day through the yard, if it was acutally worth it.

Dude last time I checked, this was a forum where you could ask questions and get help, advise, opinions, etc. What you are giving me is none of these so stop wasting my time and everyone else time with you comments.

You annoy me.

To everyone else that has contributed, thanks I appreciate it.

Just relax. It's his time, not yours. Some people have different priorties, like scrounging breaker yards for euro snazzy bits versus browsing magnificent castles. I'd love to see a couple one day, but consider that on the same percentage of incidence as finding a mouse in a horses's mouth.

I don't think they ever made 718i but I've seen 518i in the e28 body style. I'm pretty sure that has to be the slowest bmw ever made, haha

Maybe I'm thinking of a 723 or 725 or something. I'll take a 518i though :D

Euro bumpers.;) For small things get grills, lights, check panel, stuff like that. Have fun when you're not working!
