Good junkyards?

[David9999999]

Are there any decent junkyards for E30's in the region? CT/MA/NH/RI is the extent I would travel to.

I'm in Quincy, MA and am always up for a good junk yard trip!

There are a few yards in Brockton but they are hit or miss. The good thing is they are all right next to each other. Everette's is one that jumps on.

Jack's in Tewksbury on the North Shore is ok, Hollands in Billerica is close by.

I've been trying to find some new ones myself.

sam's pick and pull worcester ma- large yard usually have some bmw's
chuck and eddies in CT also a pick and pull- they have 2 locations but its a hit or a miss on e30's its best to call before heading down

^ I've heard of Chuck & Eddies off route 29 in CT but haven't been yet. I usually use craigslist or r3v

[David9999999]

Maybe I'll call around this weekend and go for a trip.

VanillaGorilla- would be happy to look for anything you need if I make it out.

I used to have good luck with brandy brow in plaistow, but I haven't seen an e30 there in years... car world in candia, NH maybe? or goldies down in walpole?

henrys in blackstone usually has a lost of BMW's, but not too sure what their e30 selection is like

[K20RI_211]

Henry's was sold and gets mostly late model junk.

Everett's has been a loser for me the last three times I drove out there. Done with them.

Sam's, same as above. Used to get a few but not recently that I've seen.

What kills me is I used to troll Henry's often just to look at the vintage metal before I bought an E30/E28 and they had TONS of cars. I can't even imagine half of the sh!t I passed up because it wasn't relevant at the time.

[jrobie79]

yeah henrys had some great shit for sure, first section in the yard too

Went to Goldie's in January and the oldest they had was an E32 7-Series.

I'll have to eat crow. Sam's in Worcester had an '88 when I stopped in yesterday. Nothing of value to me. Interior looked like it was coated in mud at one point. Engine fire as well - hood paint blistered. Tired-looking Bilsteins on it and broken projector beams. Some good panels if you need sheet metal. Someone already pulled the trim off of it; no clue on diff.

Dash wasn't bad but had a small crack or two. Not that I would want anything out of that interior.

Good question! i just bought my first e30 and need some parts. There have to be a lot of rust buckets getting towed off lawns all over still.

[15Michaeljoseph]

Boys... Center auto wrecking in chicopee MA has a new e30 vert. it's a maine car, but I see no rust (not NO rust, but no new england rust :b) . hell the front strut housings look better than mine. It's stacked on another car though so that's probably why nobody's fucked with it. very brittle interior, but come to think of it, I can't remember if the dash was cracked or not.... next time i'll see.

then theres a grey iS and a red 318 in the upper lot, the grey car has bav auto springs.... sitting balls down on the ground with no wheels. I cried.

the guys at center are always rude to me. they kicked me out when i asked for a price on an oil level sensor. said they dont want me buying sensors coming off a bmw. ended up buying a full running m20 just for the sensor
