[wrenbirdx2]

Only problem is shipping it over here from there! Even if it cost us half as much to get it from you it ends up costing the same or more by the time you ship it here. On the other hand there may be some "Europe Only" parts that you may have some success with.

Can't be more than a thousand bucks. Check into what kind of discount to our prices you can get, and it could be very economically efficient.

ill check into it i would also have to find a truck to cary it to the post office
and plus since its a engin i dont know how much hassel it would be i know i would have to clean and drain the crap out of it then on top of that how would i know if the motor is shot?

i know one good part to ebay is the headlights i guess the german ones are brighter or something

hmmm i could also do some trading for parts as well i dont understand german part prices i went last week to price so new plug wires not performance just oem replacements im talking plane bosch ones 120 euro i think thats about 150usd wtf the bosch plant is right up the street like 2 blocks

Bumpers for sure! Maybe some gauge clusters, pretty much anything that differs from USA cars.

the euro bumpers are fairly desirable because they dont have the gass shocks holding them inplace. closer to the car, better looking

Bring over a e30 323i head.

Being in the Army he only has to pay the US Freight. From Europe back he's not charged for due to the APO address (all taken care of my the Military Postal Service).
