Since it has been discussed a little bit around here, I thought I'd post some info about what Bmws there are in the salvage yards I visit.
Anyone who has visited a yard and saw a bmw should feel free to post here so we can all find/fight over parts. :)
e30s are, of course, more awesome to know about...
I only visited 2 yards today because of the epic win.... (see my build thread)
----------------------
As of 1pm 4-3-2010:
Upullandpay - 66th & Broadway
'86 528e mt- diff, wiring harness & ecu gone. transmission & engine still in it, not too picked over.
'93 325is 2dr green mt- hit in the front, lots of engine parts jacked up, ecu gone, harness cut to hell. interior gone, switches, etc...pretty worthless really.
Western Auto recycling - 61st and Federal
'91 325i 2dr red mt- hit in the front, jacked up engine components. seats gone, computers yanked, some interior parts still there. trim bits and switches still in. 2 cracks in dash.
'87 325e 4dr dark blue mt- pretty good shape, just set. Standard seats in okay shape, some tears on driver bolster. most of the interior still there, 3 cracks in dash. engine mostly complete with harness and ecu. no diff or driveshaft(yay me!), most of the body in pretty good shape.
92 525i 4dr black - non-vanos interior good and there, most of the drivetrain good, I think it was a manual. Didn't look like anyone had really touched it, a few piddly bits gone from the interior.
---------------------
That about sums it up. I'll definitely update this thread after every time I go out, since then I remember what I saw. There are more yards in the metro area, and I know some of you have been out recently, I need to know where to go next!
