Anyone know of good junkyard(s) around here? I need a front reinforcement bar ( carrier ) for my front bumper and a front grille for the hood.

What about PullAPart?

TRNSPRTR, the company didn't let me know until 5 days in the order that one of my parts was flat out unavailable and then asked me if I wanted to process the order still. That could have taken all of 10 minutes of looking up the parts in the system. They also failed to inform me a $2 part was a special order item that held up the process even longer.

Believe it or not, I have found out that the BMW dealer on Hurstbourne Ln. in Louisville, KY is actually pretty good on prices. I'm going to them for now on.

Yea, going to be checking pull a part. Good suggestion. I am now looking for a hood. I bought one from vpanya on here in mid nov, but couldn't get around to having it and my bumper and fender painted until now. Just unwrapped the thing and it has about 15 dents on it. I'm so ticked...money is tight around here being a grad student with a pregnant wife.......should've checked it immediately. We live and learn, I guess.....just hate to get screwed by a fellow e46er.

That sucks man.

I got my car fixed with the coolant and VCG, so it is back on the road. Now I have a more interesting problem. It seems that the front right turn signal bulb keeps burning out for no reason. I just replaced it last night and it didn't even stay on this morning.

I had my taillight do that, check wiring, one of my wires was messed up.

I'll do that sometime this weekend, I'm getting VERY tired of the fast clicking!

I searched the forum and it seems the connector can go out too.

Man you guys are gonna laugh at me.

So I pop open the front passenger turn signal light housing to see why the bulb went out so quickly, and you ready for this? I didn't put the bulb all the way in. It literally was rolling around in there! I reseated it properly and put it back in. Works great now.

Oh well, I rather it be something silly versus serious!

Yeah it looked like one of my little connectors blew but its still working right now...


And what should I get?

Get a DICE kit w/ the adapter
or
Clear w/ Black Housing front corners, clear reflectors, and LED tails?

Honestly, I'm going to say DICE. I am so tired of the public radio here in Louisville. I would kill to have either iPod or satellite radio capabilities in my car!

EDIT: Meet was good times, a rare E30 M3 showed up! Great looking car.

Haha ok.


You got pics of the E30 M3 RIGHT?

Yeah, one of the group organizers got pictures, when he posts them I'll share in this thread. Hell, even an X5 showed!

Haha man if I had some mods on it instead of lookin like an old person drives it I would go!

I'm looking into a wheel "upgrade" I might do it this month or next.

Look at the new wheels on ECS tuning, new for $600. one style looks like the CSLs.
