I have a couple E30 parts cars lying about. Might have some of the pieces you need, although some of what you list are typical parts that every old E30 needs.

J & J would be a good try, they are off Route 96, just past Manchester; Budget Salvage Yard as well; Budget is on Rte 104, Williamson. BMW forums are great resources, try www.bimmer.org click on the 3 series E-30 link and post a message you need some parts; you'll get replies. You might want to try Roy Hopkins as well, he's here in Rochester (Spencerport), can't say enough nice things about Roy, many times he's helped me out.

Pick a forum or two and post your list on there. A lot of people have extra parts and cars. Ebay can be decent also. Location?

Edit: Or... contact HCPROBST, I see on the ownership pole he is parting an 86 325e.

Finding e30 parts

So I just picked my first bimmer, a 1989 BMW 325i and I love it. However it is almost 20 years old and some things I will replace in order to restore it to its original condition. This includes various small exterior, interior, and some mechanical parts such as a drivers seat, an antenna, a front lip spoiler, maybe a catalytic converter, and a brake duct (yes, I broke it when I hit the wall at the last BIMP event :P). None of these parts are necessary enough for me to pay big bucks to order new parts at the dealer, so I'm just looking for a low cost alternative.

I have been told in the past to pick up a parts car, however this doesn't seem to be a viable option for me as I have little space for a junker and I dont want to pay for parts I don't need. I also had a very hard time finding an e30 in the first place, and I can only imagine finding a parts car will be just as hard. So what do you guys do for finding parts for your older BMW?? Does anybody actually have a e30 parts car and want to sell parts? Is there a known junkyard that has an e30 that I can pick parts off of? Has anybody had any luck on eBay?

Any help or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks!
