    He says he has $16k in it.

    Interesting that he sends it out for a $4500 front end job and 'tune up', which I assume means that he does not have techs to do that simple job.

    However, he has resources inhouse that make it worthwhile to break up an 8er.

    Something does not add up.

    we found the keys ! they were attached with the 1993 850 i keys by mistake.

    since then, the car has moved inside the service dept. some parts already sold.

    darling, it originally went for a misfiring issue that would cut one bank... then that became wires and tune up... then : why not maker her perfect... front end work and here we go.. 4500$.

    I HAVE THE CHECK AND THE COPY OF THE INVOICE IN THE CAR FILE.BUT WHO CARES ANYWAYS WHAT YOU THINK about what i do or dont do inside my showroom as far as servicing goes.

    this thread i posted is to sell parts off the car and for people who can use parts off this car and take advantage of a complete car for parts.

    do you need parts ?????????????????? if yes, email me ..if not, have a nice day.

By that I mean, if you don't know allot of the disassembly methods on some of these parts, you will destroy them or many other things in the process.
    i cant sell the car as a whole and come out decent...i have to sell her in parts. we did it with the sec 600 and did ok... so hopefully, the same will happen here.

    we take apart ferrari motors, we can take apart the bmw...
    we are not equipped to diagnose the bmw ecu's, so whenever we take one on trade that needs work that we cannot handle in house, we send it out...

    I got his full set of ingnition wires and didn't have such a good experience. First of all, all I needed really was the #12 wire, but he said he'd sell me all of them for $175 plus shipping. Which seemed like a good deal as he said they were replace 100 mi ago. When I got them they were cramed into a box that was too small for the part, he actually broke both wire harnesses putting them in the box. Then I noticed that one of the wires was missing the spark plug connector, which was in the bottom of the box with all the ceramic beads. Then I counted up all the wires, 11, he was missing one of the wires. Then to make matters worse the #12 wire that I needed has the crank position sensor was broken on both sets. He had pulled the end of the crank postion sensor and broke the plastic clip end. Luckily I was still able to use the wire, but just waiting for the crank sensor to fall out because there is really nothing holding it in. In conclusion, It seems like he basically took a sledge hammer to the parts to get them out and his set of wires with 100 mi on then ended up looking worse then mine with 137,000 mi.

    Just my $0.02, I hope every one else had better luck.

    Probably pulled and packed by the same people who did the $4000 tuneup.

    When you need used parts, seek them from a reputable e31 supplier who knows what he's doing and will take care to extract and pack them properly.

    Otherwise you are likely to get butchered parts from an 8er that may otherwise lived on instead of being hacked to pieces.

    Thats too bad... Have you called and spoken to him about it?

    My headlights came packaged very well and it only took my about 10 mins to get them in my car. I couldn't be happier.

    I'd call and let them know that you weren't satisified.
