Also seems a long shot as shipping to East Coast for sways would be pricey. |
I spoke with Mikhail yesterday. There are a few challenges in contacting him, but the results at least for me has yielded great parts. Same for FunElan who met Mikhail on Saturday. While Mikhail is not as knowledgable about car parts, the PO was a BMW tech who built up the car, hence the presense of prime parts.
The best way to inquire is to call Mikhail at his contact number listed in his response below. He is not a computer wielding guy, but he is quite responsive on the phone and text messaging. He can take pics of what you're interested in and send via text message. The vehicle is in a friends auto yard 30 min from his house and presently, he does not have a vehicle, but typically gets rides from family members. So, you and he can arrange a time when he will go to his car and take pictures and confirm so he knows exactly what you'd like so he can pull it. He sends USPS or Greyhound Express.
Additionally, if you are in the Tucson area, he'll arrange to meet you at his car to pull parts. Again, call his contact number if you're interested in stuff. I know this is not as normal as we typically trade off parts, but, it is what it is.

Give him a call if you are interested in any of these items. BTW, I'm assisting him as he has given me a break on many parts and he is a genuine and good guy. Proceeds from his part out and insurance goes towards his next family vehicle.
Cheers and thanks for helping a ti brother out!
