    Do Schwartz parts exist out there? WTB trunk lid

    I don't get why I am having so much difficulty finding a Schwarz trunk lid. I'm so tired of staring at the dent on my trunk too.

    Anyone have one?


    Thanks, James

    (sorry my threads suck, they are all wtb threads)

    You sound like me with Zinnoberrot parts. Be patient, they will come around. Schwarz was used for many years on E30's, so I'm sure something will pop up soon!

        diamond schwarz is by far the most common bmw color in all years.

        zinnoberrot is like maybe fifth sixth around
        those are two common colors you can and do find all the time.

        Ive seen tons of black e30s in junkyards. and, the trunk is almost always good unlike the fenders which are usually stripped off or fucked up.
        More front end collisions than rear end collisions... basically all that is pointing towards a black trunk or doors as the most common e30 body parts you can find.
        so basically you have nothing to complain about in fact Id give you 50 50 of a black trunk in picknpulls in pdx at any one time.

        I think they charge like 20$ for one.

        satin schwarz is a very rare color in e30s.

        edit oh washington.



        2 in tacoma call to ask if they are black. one in arlington.

          I need to find one that's driving up to Seattle from Cali...

          And I've called every pick n pull in Washington, there inventory is garbage. Either that or the people that answer the phone are hiding e30's from me. Both the 86 e30s apparently don't exist in the Tacoma pick n pull even though the the inventory shows them

          And the one in Oregon is red

            oh you mean me?

            um I mean I could but its not my priorities. Im not like buying trunks and storing them

            Ya you are right they lie or are straight stupid.

            Ive been to the picknpulls especially the north portland one, where they literally told me theres none and theres five. Other ones were acurate.

            as far as colors you just have to wait . I dont guarantee theres a black one near you but there should be.

            I dunno ive looked at a few e30s and every time Ive said I wish my car was black. next is white but for some reason it doesnt hold up

            and like I said, looking for fenders you gotta be an early visitor to an e30, but nobody wants a trunk.


            oh ya remember to try 325 i and 318i those are all e30s







            and I personally always do 525 i because theres a lot of parts compatible including an m50....



            but obviously no body parts. Im actually stuck on e34 sport seats.



            this random selection shows a lot more in portland and i believe that is often the case. brand new one in arlington though

              No I'm just saying in general if someone is driving up to Seattle but all that stuff would be pretty hard to coordinate.

              And yes I agree, that has definitely been the case for me since I've owned an e30. Every parts car I find is the wrong color

              That one that you said earlier in Arlington is brand new. I'm gonna call them first thing in the morning to check what color it is, I've got my fingers crossed

                  I figured you gave that away when someone came and picked up the rear bumper.


                  In case anyone wants to see the beater that was in the Arlington pick n pull. 1988 325is schwarz. Of course the trunk was beat to shit








                  I picked up the headlights, taillights and map light mirror

                    Theres a clean eta one in Bremerton, I can give you the gu's number. He is parting the car and is really reasonable

                      Tacoma PnP has a schwarz 325. I know, I pulled the hood insulation panel from it. No clue on condition of trunk lid.

                      This was ~2 weeks ago.

                        Any of those last three cars mentioned have a passenger side fender on them? They're all far from me so I don't want to drive there just to find out it's gone.

                          Why the fuck was that car parted? Is there damage that I can't see? Looks like a decent car.
