Bavarian Auto Recycling has a lot of wrecked E30's on ebay for sale as parts cars. Only problem is you can buy a comparable unwrecked one for about the same price. I checked the first 5 or 6 and they have 0 bids. Wonder why?

Those people are about an hour away from me.  I was going to go out there one Saturday to pull some iS seats, but they don't open on the weekends.  That wasn't cool!

And yeah, those parts cars are way overpriced.

I live about 5 minutes away from them.  1/2 the time they don't have the parts I'm looking for.  There's another recycle yard a few blocks away, B&M&W that I sometimes have to go to if Bavarian doesn't have what I'm looking for.  All the yards are a bit overpriced, but the parts are generally in very good shape.  I've lucked out a few times at the (Import) Pick-n-Pull, but generally all they have is crap, mostly old M10 powered 318i or 325e's.

The parts cars in those auctions are priced so high because they are worth more as parts than as complete cars (lets face it, no one wants to part out a perfectly good E30).

There are still 0 bids. They are probably advertising.
