Damn. Wish Kansas City had junk yards like this one...
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. iOriginally Posted by WhoNew
Okay, just confirmed that lkq IS having a half off weekend.
Sounds good. I will be there saturday then.
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).
I was up there as well today. Thinking of going tomorrow to get some non bmw parts.
If anyone sees an e30 oil pan let me know
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.
Holy crap, I didn't know they charged that much !
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.Originally Posted by WhoNew
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?

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.

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.
