I've been so lucky at the wreckers the past few months. Found some BBS wheels, an LSD and today I found a BBS front spoiler in pretty good condition, no cracks and the paint matches my car for only $37. :buttrock

Sometimes, life is good.

Ive got a full matching kit and 2 extra front spoilers sitting here :D

Where did you get it for $37?

hey Greg,

how much did you pick up the LSD for? any good e21 wrecking yards you can recommend in Melb or even Sydney?... e21 wreckers are hard to find nowadays in Syd...maybe im not looking in the right places...:P

Hey Greg,

Yes, please share the info of where this gold mine lies :)

Sharing is caring my friend....hehe

Also, where in Melbourne are you?

Okay, the BBS wheels came from Centre Road Wreckers in Springvale, 1602 Centre Rd. They came off an E30 and I thought I'd get them to work but gave up and sold them.

The LSD came from Jolly's Wrecking in Dandenong, paid $78 for it. I'm waiting to replace the bearings in it before I install it. Probably doesn't need it but I'm doing it anyway.

The spoiler I picked up at Pick-a-Part in Kilsyth.

I only tend to use the self-serve wreckers because they're the only place where you'll get good prices. I got a fuel distributor from one place for $30 and another charged me $15. Most of the K-Jet stuff they don't have a clue on.

I'm in the eastern suburbs. The BMW specialist wreckers that I know of are ASV European Auto Spares (http://www.asv.com.au), who have branches on the east coast; Penisula BM (http://www.peninsulabm.com/) in Mornington; BM Spares in Dandenong; BM's R Us (http://www.bmsrus.netfirms.com/page1.html) in Reservoir; BM Only (http://www.berrymotorgroup.com.au/) in Mitcham (I bought a diff from them because mine was shot when I first got the car). E21 specific wreckers I don't know. I've just had to perservere, I've been looking for an LSD for 2 years, as well as the spoiler.

while we are on the subject of part yards....are there any in the bay area that are good? does anyone know

I've just had to perservere, I've been looking for an LSD for 2 years, as well as the spoiler.

I could've told you where to get an LSD & BBS Bar, but not that cheap though!!

My BBS was $140 ish and was in good condition. Just had a crap load of paint on it.

I'm familiar with all those yards you mentioned, just never needed to look, but you got some great buys there - congrats! :cool

I know Dean and Heath and Peninsula BM pretty well. Go down there every now and then for bits and pieces, but not regularly as I don't need anything.

PS Greg, you a member on www.eurocca.net ?? There is a small cruise Nov 11. Come down, you're most welcome.

PPS On parts....Got some urethane bushings in the mail from JBob today!! Thanks fella :alright

I have urethane steering rack busings on the way from BavAuto.

I had a cursory glance at eurocca but haven't looked at it in depth. Have to make a journey back over there.

hah, centre road, family used to manage that :D
