LF:E39 parts car

[540i]

looking for someone parting out an e39 5 series. I'm looking for a sunroof cartridge, trunk latch and some interior trim pieces. Please let me know. Thanks!

The sunroof cartridge can be rebuilt.
I rebuilt an E36 cartridge... the hardest part was get it out of the car... and back in!

If the tilt/lift is broken, you might not even have to remove it to fix. Here's a DIY:

I did the rebuild last year...you're right, the hardest part was taking the cartridge out. I think my rails are out of alignment. It doesn't open smooth, but it does tilt. I still need to replace the sliding rails (with the small wheels on it)...with that cost i might as well just find a complete set.
Thanks for the feedback!!

Call Dave at Bimmer-parts.ca. He owns a wrecking yard out here on the island but ships anywhere. The guy knows his stuff!

I'm looking to get the hood and some interior parts, so maybe if we can get together and buy everything at once we can get a good deal.

I'm meeting this guy Saturday noon, somewhere in the North East close to Superstore. PM me if you want to join me.
Thanks!

crap. missed this...

you get what you wanted? what was the condition of the car? did you happen to notice the condition of the hood?

Thanks

[540i]

i'm going again this saturday to get all my parts. I went last week to see the condition only. The hood is really good. The engine is done. I'd say most of the car is in good condition. There is front damage to the driver suspension.

sounds good, I'll email the guy and find out how much the hood is.

and if I can afford it I'll head down saturday with you also. I can give you a hand if you need.

what time you gonna head down there?

[540i]

sometime in the morning, around 10-11ish. This place would be hard to find, so we can meet up at an intersection close to there. Call me at 403-333-2611 and we can coordinate Saturday. The place is 36St NE and 64th St ish.
