    THE Chicago Area Junk Yard thread

    Figured we needed one, didn't see one when I searched

    Personally, I like pick n pull yards. They are cheap, and have a terrific website to search their inventory.
    cars I saw today at the summit Picknpull yard.

    E36 cabrio 325I
    E36 4 door 318I
    E30 4 door


    E28 528e

    E23 733I


    E39 528I

    Pics soon of most of these.

    Just got back from a upull it yard at 141st and Western Ave.

    E34

    E39 528I

    Damn I was just looking for a sunroof motor and this could have been a big help. I ended up getting on on Craigslist for 25 bucks vs $500 at the dealer.

    I used to go every Sunday before cars and coffee. Now it will be every Sunday after cars and coffee, weather permitting.

    Steve, one of the e39s had fold down rear seats, and a ski bag. I only mention it because my e39 didn't have either. Black interior. I wanted the front seats, but they were a bit wider than I expected.

    99 M Rdstr, 92 325ic,
    That E39 in Summit had the motor gone within 2 days of it arriving there. Actually the whole front end is gone. I was surprised to see the E30 there too. I think this is only the second one I encoutered at the yards this year. They are getting hard to come by around here. If anyone sees any E30's, please post here. I miss the 50% Wednesdays.

    Hammond pnp has an E34 535is in Red. Pretty picked over, but everything seems to be there under the hood.

    The summit yard had a bunch of e30s last year.

    Www.picknpull.com. You can search their inventory online.

    The red 535i was pretty pick over too. And the orange spray can that went off in there ... Piss me off.




    Also, if you see Bimmers in the yards, take a quick pic, and add it here. I own an e34, and can use parts from older 7 series too !

    that 535 was clean when it got there in january. I thought it had drivetrain problems because iirc it wasnt hit anywhere.

    Does anyone visit route 14 auto parts near woodstock?

    that e39 528 also had a style 5 on it, could have a nice pair of set of 3 if there is a spare on the cheap.

    That is EXACTLY why I took that pic. It was the only one, and I debated seriously about grabbing it.

    Half off with toolkit card at the pnp's this weekend. The hammond location just got two late model E36's. One had a bad Trans, not sure on the second, but no body damage on them.

    Sweet, thanks for the heads up. I was trying to make it this weekend, but the wife tightened up on the reigns this week...

    if anyone goes to the Pick n Pull in Hammond IN, could you please get the VIN from the 99 323i which is in row 131. I think it is light blue with dove white interior.

    Dude, you live SUPER close to me. Are you interested in cars and coffee Sunday mornings ? We could cruise together.

    no E30 at the U-Pull it in Rockford. There was an E34 with an M50 and an early E36 with a pulled head. If anyone sees an E46, please post here.

    U-pull-it in Aurora has a few. A pretty complete '85 E23 735i, a '95 E34 525i & an E46 that's missing a lot. I have pics but couldn't upload cause the files were to large.
