<font size=2>Hi everyone. I've been watching this forum for many months, as we've been ramping up our website, http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/index.htm . We've got a lot of things in store for the upcoming year, including the release of my new book, "101 Projects for Your 3-Series BMW." Pelican's website has many technical articles:

http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/techarticles/tech_main.htm

and we're constantly adding more every day (I have about 35 more E30 ones to place in the next few weeks).

We also have a full-featured catalog that we will be expanding in the very, very near future:

http://www.pelicanparts.com/bmw/catalog/catalog.htm

Who exactly is Pelican? Our roots stem from BMW's fellow brethen marque, Porsche. We host and run the Internet's largest Porsche website, and we're looking to duplicate our success on the BMW side.

Customer Service is our highest priority, and we actually are enthusiasts who work on the cars we love. I own an E36 318is (Supercharger coming soon), and an E36 325is (wife's car). My chief BMW content guru, Jared owns an E30 325is. My business partner Tom owns a daily driver E30 318. Finally, my General Manager (Eli) owns a E36 318 and just picked up a sweet E36 M3 for his honey (lucky her).

Just thought I'd say hello!

I'm hoping to get it finished and out by the end of this year. The current one out "101 Projects for Your Porsche 911" is currently a best-seller! :)

We are working on our new catalog - the one we have up there is a temporary one. We will be expanding the catalog sections to include almost every nut and bolt for your BMW.

Here's a sneak preview:

Umnitza, dude, we've been sooooo busy with the release of my new book (http://www.101projects.com/911-Rebuild/index.htm), and I'm even building an engine rebuild wizard! We're working hard on the new BMW catalog, and it should be up soon!

hey i have a problem. ive ordered sum parts for my dads e39 528 from the pelican parts web site and i thought i ordered the bentley manual for the e39 but it turned out i didnt read what i clicked on. the book came and it was the BMW Unbeatable book. anyways, its a nice book but i dont really need it but i lost the receipt for it and cant find it anywhere. would i be able to return it? i found out that they still dont make the service manual for the e39 but if possible i would like to exchange the book for the e36 bentley manual. can i return it without the receipt?

Wayne,
How applicable do you surmise your book will be to me and my Coupe bretheren and sisteren? :D or even us Z3ers? after all we are E36ers...

As of now, the E36 M3 Bentley is good for the engine/drivetrain and suspension... got anything else for us odd balls? :D

Don't know if you'll se this, but anyway, I went to your site to look for some LCA offset bushings for my 95 M3 and the part # given is incorrect.

Should be: 31 12 9 064 785; not: 31 12 1 059 288. (I think I remembered that correctly)
How much for a pr of the former?

Need a jack plate also. Found that n/p.
