Where to get used working parts

0 Upvotes

Guys I see some sensors on eBay go for $300. But local shops sell the used ones for $10. Where to buy used parts online?

I’ve always stare at this blanking plate wondering what other kind of options where available for this spot. Would love to see what other people have going on in their console

Tech question Help! E30 325i Fuel Gauge always at full.

2 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently replaced my fuel pump on my E30 (pre-lci) and the immersion pipe sender, now my fuel gauge is showing the right fuel level only when the car is in ignition 2 but when the fuel pump is working it‘s going to full and stays there. I checked every ground cable and ground connection and everything is clean and connected. When I am driving it sometimes goes back a little bit but it doesn‘t show the right fuel level. I checked everything and I can not find the issue.

Took about 4 hours of prototyping but I finally got there!
Range took a slight hit but still good enough. I like it because I can use it for both my remote locking and my garage opener, and because it looks super cool.

Hi I recently bought this 1989 325is and I found this random hose line sitting and I can’t seem to find out what it is or were it would go. If anyone could help me with this I would really appreciate it

1800 for rear trailing arm and subframe bushings a lot?

3 Upvotes

Just did my front control arms and steering rack myself. It wasn’t too difficult but definitely annoying since the car had some seized bolts. I no longer have a place to keep my car jacked up for a few nights so I have to take it to a shop. The rear definitely looks way harder. The shop quoted me 1250 for the trailing arms which is pretty fair but the sub frame bushings are 750? Which I was thinking everything is already off pretty much with the trailing arms so wouldn’t the sub frame bushings only take like an hour to do? This is without alignment and everything. Just bushings
