    Touring Tragedy - was rear ended and need help!!

    Hi Everyone,

    I attendended the Pittsburgh Vintage Festival this past week end - great event, lots of BMW eye candy.

    Unfortunately my 325 Touring was rear ended - by a freind no less - it was an unfortunate accident, that now I need to deal with. My insurance company seems to be OK (for the moment) and is willing to throw money at the car. I live very close to Legendary Motor Car (speed tv's Dream Car Garage) who refered me to a body shop with the pulling equipment to do the fix. I think the car is in good hands, and will be fixed correctly.

    The dealership will bring in the new parts they can - but - some items are no longer available.

    I'm hoping that I can get some help from this community with connections overseas to source some of the harder to find pieces. The rear hatch part number still seems to exist, but not sure if available; the inner compartment doors were cracked - they show up on e-bay occasionally, but, unfortunately take a beating. Theres a number of little bits that are Touring specific.... really what I'm probably going to need is a reputable wrecker overseas that won't bend me over because I'm in North America that will take the time to pull nice, decent parts, pack them properly and ship them accordingly.

    Can anyone help?? Once we get into the fix, I can post more specifics on parts req'd.

    Thanks everyone, have a look at the pics ... brings a tear to my eyes...

      sorry to hear about this, your car was very clean. I actually just sold my e30 touring a month ago.

            Member Kingb pulled some e30 touring interior parts for me from a German wrecker. Try contacting him. Too bad, the touring got crushed before he could scrounge up more parts. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/member.php?u=18421

              Hi Andre,

              Yes its me .... thanks for the kind words. I'm more than a little PO'd but the car will be fixed. I saw your posting ... congrats on the sale

              If this happened to either of my 240's there would have been bloodshed.

              You going to the Glen this year?

                  I will definitely be there, not sure for how long though (hopefully fri-sun). My father said he can only stay friday, possibly saturday so I'm not sure if I'll stay longer. I'll likely be in this



                  unless I find an m3 before then

                              Hi there.

                              So sorry to see the damage...My dad and I were right there when you were backing in on the golf course...I didn't have the heart to ask you if that just happened on your way down...I did go back to snap a quick pic - think that you had the only e30 touring there...

                              Looks like a really nice ride - good luck with the repairs.

                              I am getting my pics uploaded and will post a thread soon. Tons of Bimmers as well as pretty much anything else under the sun.

                              Glad that you otherwise enjoyed the event in my hometown.
