    50% off this weekend at chicago area pick-n-pull locations. (hammond, wadsworth, summit). Friday through monday. Might be nationwide actually. Does anyone know if LKQ in blue island will be doing the same?

    I don't think so, I was just at lkq and didn't see anything.

    Picknpull would be great if they had an E34 once in awhile.

    I just saw the first one this year. Summit has a 97 528i. $1299 and it is yours. I doubt it will sell since it needs soo much body work. I am waiting when it hits the lot. if you see it before me, PM me please.

    LKQ advertises their sales through facebook. I need to get one someday for this reason.

    97 would be an E39. Summit had a black one earlier this year, and it was a manual.

    If you see it hit the yard, on pm me, and I will do the same.

    Oh yeah, forgot about that one. But that one showed up without an engine. That is why I do not recall it. i

    I just need some parts from under the hood. That is it. i promise not to touch the inerior. Their website shows 3 e34's purchased in the last few weeks. the one with the motor removed is the one i have seen. I believe another one came out, but i have not seen it yet.
    If someone is looking for a 5lug swap for their e30, there is a 318ti with a complete rear in summit. Aside from that the other two bmw's are pretty picked over.
    Hammond has a non vanos 325i that is fairly complete with tan comfort seats in good shape. There is also a 735i that is fairly complete there.

    Yeah, the black 525 with the motor on the ground. Looks like someone took the pan and pick up for an E30 swap. That's a 95, with the updated door panels. I couldn't get the back doors open Sunday.

    I had to quit early with the rain and wife screaming for me to get home !

    I just came from the junk yard in Blue Island. Taking advantage of the 50% off Labor Sale since they raised up their regular prices. They have a few E36s. All interiors are either not in great conditions or someone already bought them. There is one Black E36 that has a pair of nice sport fabric seats. There is also a Red one that has the two rear door panels in great condition (beige).

    Did anyone see the 2 rows of imports in the middle of the dodge section ? There is a black 318ti in there with the cloth sport seats, and an E39.

    The ti has the rear suspension all there, and a decent looking set of rims. Also if anyone wants winter rims, there are basket weaves all over the place.

    Still pricey though. $40 per wheel on 50% day is still a lot.

    Yep. It's half off on price only. The $20 core charge stays at $20.

    A core charge on wheels ? So you have to bring them back old wheels ?

    The seats are there but the rear springs are gone and I took the rear sub frame. I left the differential on the floor and the trailing arms.

    The E39 is black too but has a horrible paint job. The original color use to be blue.

    Open diff?
    Also, does anyone know if either the silver or the white E30 have an automatic transmission?

    Are you doing a 5 lug conversion on an E30 ? Also, someone took the pedal set out of the manual 525. Someone is doing a 5speed swap !

    I took some pictures of most of the BMWs at Blue Island. I am missing the 91 325is and the 96 318ti. Hope this helps you guys. This thread is a great idea. Let's keep it going. We could use some info on the other yards around Chicago.

    I was hoping it would take off. And I agree, we need more info on other yards. There are a few out by joliet, but they are closed Sundays. Was hoping to check out the lkq on north ave soon.

    Wojtek79: Got your PM. The Rt. 14 (Woodstock yard) had a total of 1 BMW e34 2 weeks ago. The BMW inventory up there has been pretty light for the last couple of months. If I see any come in I'll post here (after I skim the cream for myself.
