Alright, here goes. Doing this one more time this year.
It will happen sometime between the 11th and 23rd of October. Dates to be hammered down nearer the time.
For those that don't know, I manage a breakers yard in Northern Ireland that is chock full of BMWs, currently ranging from 1974 to 2003. After Germany itself, NI is the most densely BMW-populated-per-head region in Europe. So we have lots of choice parts, and as I have a LWB van, and lots of friends and customers on the mainland, I fill the van, bring it over, you get awesome stuff without having to pay shipping, I get a - well, I get a headache, mainly.
This is a current list of stock of the cars:
E8 1974 Neue Klasse 2000
E24 1979 635csi, 1982 635csi
E28 1987 518i x2, 1987 520i
E30 1987 325i Cabrio, 1989 325i Sport x3, 1990 325i Sport x2, 1993 318i Touring
E34 1988 525i, 1989 535i Sport, 1991 520i, 1993 525i Touring, 1993 530i Touring, 1994 525tds x3, 1994 530i, 1994 540i, 1995 530i, 1995 525i
E32 1990 750i, 1991 735i, 1994 740i
E36 1994 325i Cabrio, 1994 325i LHD, 1994 325tds, 1994 M3 x2, 1995 318is, 1997 325tds, 1997 318i, 1997 323i Touring, 1997 323i LHD, 1997 323i Cabrio, 1998 318ti compact x2, 2000 316i compact
E38 1995 750iL, 1998 728i x4
E39 1996 520i, 1997 528i x3, 1997 525tds x2, 1997 535i x3, 1997 540i, 1998 523i x2, 1999 528i, 1999 530d x2, 1999 530d Sport, 1999 523i Sport, 2000 530d, 2000 530d Touring
E46 1999 318i, 2001 320d x2, 2002 320d, 2002 318i Touring, 2002 330d Sport, 2003 320d
OK, to the rules:
As before, i will deviate off the route 1 mile to every ten pounds being spent. So for a £300 interior, I will come 30 miles off route. For a twenty quid radio, I will come two miles off. If its further than that, I need some diesel money. If your item is particularly bulky or heavy, I would appreciate some diesel money towards that too - ferries and fuel are not cheap, and I'm doing this to save you £50/£100/£150 in courier/pallet costs (and removing the risk of damage in transit!).
If you don't meet me or answer your phone or whatever, I'll find somewhere to leave your stuff in the same country as you, but its up to you to then collect from there.
Before anything gets loaded up, non-returnable 25% or more deposit required. Space is at an absolute premium and cannot be spared for anyone not committed to buying. I know that sounds harsh, but it's necessary. I don't try to be mean, I just need you to understand that the van is always packed to the point of bursting and there is no room for bringing parts over on the 'off-chance' or for someone to decide they don't like the colour any more.
The route is Holyhead - Chester - Stoke - Birmingham - Bristol - Reading - Slough - around top of M25 late evening, will not enter London under any circumstances - Colchester - Cambridge - Kettering - Northampton - Derby - Nottingham - Leeds - Carlisle - Dumfries - Stranraer.
as it's possibly the most popular BMW on here, I'll copy/paste this E30 list. Just ask for prices on any part from any of the other cars.
