apart from on here, ebay, gumtree, trade-it, pistonheads, preloved.comand scrapyards, is there anywhere else to get second hand e30 bits?

Are there any specialist scrapyards, that only do bmws for example?

Or very arge scrapyards that may have a few?

I go round the ones in gliucestershire alot and see the odd one or 2, but not a massive amount, so where are they all going, as 90% of them are rustbuckets and scrapped.

Maybe Gloucestershire, just isn't big on e30's, although I see alot rotting on bricks on peoples drives, maybe I'll start knocking on there doors winkeye

If you want online, retrorides should have some people selling bits but I suspect most of those sellers would also be on here.

BBB just off the a12. It's an hour from Romford and worth the trip up there. Reasonably priced and have most parts for E30s on the shelf.

Cheers mate thats excellent, I don't mind getting some stuff on here, but some people are overcharging on here in my opinion, it varies depending on the seller though.

I'd rather just go to a walkabout scrapyard and stri the stuff off myself thats part of the fun. At my scrapyard e30 parts are 1/4 of the price than on here, just they only come in on very random occasions and you have to be lucky.

Thanks again. :)
