As for the rear brakes/rotor's you've mentioned in that quite long list.
They are specific for the ix touring. The rear rotors are available from BMW again although at 125€ each they aren't cheap.
Also, if you need new trim for the interior. You should have a look on ebay-kleinanzeigen.
And I've already mobilized some german friends to negotiate a full trunk trim kit delivery :)

yesterday I unpacked the car. Some goodies came with it -
a husco armrest, in good shape. unfortunately mounted to the center console at a 3rd-grade level. will be for sale since it gets in my way because I own elbows.
a DOT-R ix trans that came from 002 salvage a few years ago. Paint pen markings indicate that the trans was two years from new when pulled and sold, which fills me with hope. It's good that I don't have to hunt for this, since the trans in the car is absolutely toast and they're not so common.
on to the car itself, looks like there's a new starter -
and a new muffler section -
and a decent-looking front giubo -
and, uh some coolers? the back one isn't connected to anything. It was probably for the auto trans.
the front grills are off in that photo because I removed the eyebrows. I will mail them to anyone, for free, if they write and post a 5-paragraph essay explaining how exactly they've managed to go so wrong in life as to appreciate e30 eyebrows. I'm extra-angry because these were attached with several feet of butyl tape and it was a bitch to get off.
more evidence of previous hack-jobbery started to present itself here. For some of these, I have no idea how it's even possible to accomplish something with so little skill applied.
the transfer case mount was just tightened until it basically tore the bushing. they could have just slid the mount forward by a centimeter and not fucked themselves (and me) over, but no.
home depot exhaust hardware. this is also in the manifolds. sigh.
the trailer hitch is cool and all, but it was installed by people that should not be allowed near tools, or hands. it's made by Westfalia, apparently. I'll probably take it off and sell it, I have a giant van for towing and don't think the touring would make it far anyway.
weird takeoffs from the rear lights - this ties the trailer lights into the system but there's almost certainly a cleaner way to do it.
spliced to the euro connector. the wires are taken through the back panel behind the bumper, and the hole is jagged and rusty. yay.
I don't even want to know what happened here. it does look like they forgot to finish painting it.
took the trunk trim out and apart because it's all really poorly reupholstered. I am having trouble coming up with scary enough words to describe how bad it is.
the rear inner trim panel and the plastic cover piece were attached to the back sheet metal via a baseball-sized amount of silicone, and self-tapping drill-screws. it hurt me to write this sentence. it's all removed now.
it'll be fine. i'll be fine. definitely haven't started to drink more.
