Actually a good score as many of the parts I wanted were still there. Oakland is a little further than my beaten path, but it turned out to be a well worth trip. Was the "all European" the import Pick n pull lot? They sold that property and expanded the main lot. Lots of E30s, E28, E34 and E38s. Usually 5 or 6 E36s to pick off of.

Bavarian can be pricey, but I did score rear speaker/shelf mounts for $17 a piece and they had recently had their speakers replaced and included the tweeters. Anyway, I usually look for parts for a few models and the hunt is half the fun...
