    Default UK: Goldmine E34 scrap dealer found...

    In my eternal search for a decent 540 replacement exhaust I stumbled upon a guy in Tamworth nr Birmingham that has masses of E34, E30, E38 and E36 spare parts!

    Quiet little lockup type place in the arse end of nowhere - liked it immediately when I went through the gates and spotted an E28 520 auto in the most immaculate white I'd ever seen... the car was literally spotless - apparently it'd been sat covered in a barn for 5 years and he'd just bought it for £150!

    It looked like it still had the dealer supplied tyres on it... Bastard!

    Anyways, the unit he uses had the most comprehensive set of components I've seen - E34 bumpers hung up in choice of colour, doors in neat rows, bonnets, engines, gearboxes - exhausts and interiors in any colour!

    The guy who runs the place is called Garry - top bloke who fixed me up with an almost spotless 540i genuine exhaust for £100! (Oh and some clear rear clusters!)

    Details: (It's an arse to find, if the post code doesnt work, swap the B and the U around! Worked for me!)

    Hah, took the wifes A2 up there to get it - £12 diesel for the round trip, get in!



    Seriously, this guy had an assortment of about 16 '90s bmws all queued up to be broken! He's going to rummage me out some cruise kit next week so I can finally get cruise fitted to my beastie!
