Hey,

Im looking for some OEM M3 Mirrors, and I thought I could snag a few off a junk yard. Anyone know of any good salvation yards to find parts in?

No such thing my friend.

BMW's are snapped up very quickly, or they just don't exist.....

EDIT: Well - in my case, can never find a 2000+ car :(

manchester auto & truck parts

and

Montgomery auto parts


they both specialize in bmw salvage parts. give them a call first to see if the part you are looking for is in stock.

Manchester is the place I went when I had a Bimmer. $150 got me a fuel pump and a M sport wheels and a front air dam on my 82 320i. That was 6 years ago though.

If you want to go to Manchesters, just go directly to the dealership. Manchester's prices are more outrageous for used parts than the dealer charges for new parts.

i gave them a call for some prices, they didn't give me any prices, but said that their prices are 50% of brand new retail. One example price they gave me was a m3 cluster, wanted $300-$350. sounds reasonable, still on the high price scale though. I'll check them out and see what their prices are like.

For the most part, Manchester is a rip-off!
Check prices of the part you want at the dealer and online before you go.

Hey guys.

Though this place is from the US, I still have to bring it up. Bavarian Auto Recycling, inc. (http://www.bmrparts.com)

They were awesome, I got a better deal because I said that I saw there ad on beamerforums.com (which I did) Shipping was cheap and it went threw the post office and suprisingly enough was quick and also pretty cheap. Also with the dollar being so good now it came out a lot cheaper. Ohh and you get 6 months warrenty and if you want you can get longer.

OOoooh... I'm gonna have to give some of these guys a call for sures!

Hey j0nblayz, did you find any other parts that you were looking for though? Or was it just the cluster you asked about?

I'm in need of some oem sideskirts....
