Not just rarity. Inflation is off the chain since 2009, and people aren't realizing it - in the last 9yr the dollar has gone up about 20%....

Yeah, they have gone quite a bit. Might be the only time I've purchased parts before the prices skyrocketed. Usually the other way around for me.

Yeah, I've gotten lucky on a few items where I bought before prices went up. Not this time.
I'm sure inflation is part of it, but it was maybe 2 years ago when I last looked. I'm guessing, like other items, after they sold out the previously available supply, they had to make more, and costs went up since it was likely a smaller batch, material costs had gone up, etc. MT2 wheels and ZHP knobs are both way more expensive now, same with door weather strip, and M coupe diff bushings, to name a few off the top of my head.

Mandalorin is awesome! The wife and I love it.
We are also watching Treadstone on USA. Spin off of the Bourne series.
Last week found out the head gasket on the jeep blew, no water in the oil but there's oil all in the water. e30 needs a temp sensor but I have to thread it or buy one already threaded for the whole... At least my truck still works good...*knocks on wood*1990 325is

Might want to diagnose that further. Usually when the head gasket is compromised between a coolant and oil passage, the coolant goes into the oil since the cooling system is under pressure (usually about 1bar ~ 14.5psi). Not sure if that particular motor has pressurized oil right next to a coolant passage, but that's not typical engineering.

So I went and checked the tranny fluid...sure enough, it's full of coolant as well. Now to figure out how they got mixed. My first thought is a leak in the radiator as they both go there for cooling, Metal cooling tanks on the side for the transmission.1990 325is

Subarus with head gasket problems will warn by showing a film of oil at the coolant fill on the radiator before coolant in the oil is evident. However, they're OHC engines and have pressurized oil passing through the head gasket. The Jeep 4.0 is not OHC and does not have pressurized oil through the head gasket.
