Hi,can any body lend some help pointing me in the right direction.I'm rebuilding my 320 motor but the prices are like murder from a couple of places i've tried,so does anyone have any recomendations as to how i can gets my hands on some new mains &big end bearings & std rings & a upper and lower gasket set & a timing belt.
Bavauto.com is alright for smaller things, gaskets and hoses and such. Timing belt as well it's like 10$. Water pumps and things like that too. Just not for big things. ESPECIALLY replacement stuff. I needed a rear axle half shaft. They're selling for $600. Ebay had it for 270$ but I got it locally for 150$. Also body panels. Fenders and Bumpers were $250+ on bavauto, $100 each on ebay. Suspension is great for eBay so I would give them a shot, if you haven't already.
I agree with eastburn, I'm lucky to get any kind of response within a week a posting.
I have had 4 e30's. I am also a moderator here. I know alot about e30's. I also, like most other e30 owners on this forum, have a life. Get over yourself. I make it on a couple days aweek, and may not always see your posts.
