Lol.
I'm in the USA next week and before I go I always do an eBay sweep for ARER GENUINE PARTS.
I've got a nice little watch list but stubbled on this.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BMW-E30-EURO-Re ... 1576359064?
I have one in my car as some know and have one spare - I had no idea this is what they were going for.
Any other things Zoners think should be stockpiled...?

Lol.
I didn't mean I'd bring shit back. Just if anyone had seen something worth grabbing.
There's a rather fetching blue leather M jacket GENUINE NOS OEM that could work...

Ask Barry about those rear number plate panels - I think he sold one a little while back.

I'm surprised Barry sold his - I think its one of the neatest styling touches for the E30. And 100% OEM!

A few years back I picked up 2 of these - brand new in boxes for something like $70 each. NOS / New in boxes.
These are now like $350 each new. Obviously NLA. New as in if you can find them new.

Not sure about Tech 1s.

Pre-facelift examples are shocking! You will need to find a real pervert to buy that!

Looks, facelift is nice enough. Pre-facelift is shocking, makes my eyes bleed.

What should you be stockpiling....?
I'm stockpiling pretty much everything except service parts. For example;
Dashboards
Interiors, inc door cards
Struts
Calipers
Trim strips
Bumpers and valances
Steering wheels
15" bbs and centre caps
Aircon parts
Lights
Anything made by Alpina or Hartge
Cabby or touring specific parts
IX 4wd parts
That's all because I have a number of e30s and hope they will last as long as I do.
