I need some new fenders, because mine have some rust. I'd rather start out with new ones, or used ones in good condition than do the bodywork. Anyone know of a place in Edmonton that sells used BMW parts. Preferably Lazurblau. I could also use new doors and a trunk and hood, if it's not too much money.

You probably have a few options here; it just depends on exactly what you want.

I am pretty sure that you can probably still get the fenders from BMW. They would be pricey, but the fit should be good.

Or, you can call AMP (455-3171 – wwwDOTampautoDOTcom), they can get replacement fenders/panels for most BMWs. Again, these are replacement, not OEM so the fit might not be as good, but they should be considerably cheaper. Don’t forget though, the cost of a body shop to align and make them fit may increase the cost to be as much or more as the BMW OEM ones.

You could also check with Black Gold recyclers in Nisku. They may or may not have some good ones. I have found that their prices can be a little high for recycled parts.

Another option is Lorne, north of St. Albert. He has a whole yard full of BMWs, but I am not sure if you could find any real good fenders, and he usually wants you to come out and take a look instead of telling you if he has the part(s), and what the exact condition is. His number is 460-7388 and he will give you directions and set up a time if you decide to go out to his place.

Thanks. I know of AMP auto, but they don't sell fenders. I might give Lorne a call. I will do the work myself, so painting costs and aligning wouldn't be a problem, but I heard that non-OEM panels fit horribly. I know that Black Gold Auto has a 735i, because I bought a replacement heater blower form them. I didn't think that the panels will fit, though.

Just checked. The panels on the E32 are all different.

YEAH,they're called Edmonton roads...LOL.

if you aren't able to find what you need.. try www.bimmerparts.ca (http://www.bimmerparts.ca) ask for Dave and tell him Tim, sent ya. He'll be able to help you out. He's based out where I am, in BC, but he's great for shipping and all.

Man o man arnt they just horrible now?? I think for the last 5 years they keep getting worse and worse!! :mad

LOL. Ya, they do suck. I was going down groat road, I think it was, at like 80 or 90 and I hit a freakin pot hole. Then I got a little air at an intersection at Ellerslie going 60. Have you guys driven in Nisku lately, holy hell, those roads are sh**! They literally have potholes the size of cars. :eek:
