It's A&A Auto and Salvage. They have a few rows of 325's, 318's all e30 models. There's one e23 with an auto tranny there, and I believe one e34 as well, not sure about it's condition parts wise, but it hasn't been there long. The also have a lot of mercs, saabs, VW's. They don't crush anything, but their prices aren't always so nice. They just seem to have everything, and it's usually still cheaper than new. I dread the idea of what they might want for an engine though. I got curious one day, there was a 318 that they had just brought in. It still had the keys in it, and I jumped it and it started, didn't run very well, but I think it would have been fixable. went back a few weeks later and someone had taken the air box, and alternator out, but it's always interesting. I could spend days out there digging around. They're sticklers about not taking pieces of the engine, or in my case i need a mirror for my e23, and they wouldn't sell it to me because they want to sell the whole door. There really aren't that many e23's around this area and I told them that, and they weren't very likely to sell the door, but to no avail. Sorry to ramble, sometimes they aren't very nice other times it's a good experience, it depends on the owners mood that day. There are several other yards in town, and they get them occasionally, but they usually crush theirs, wish I could afford to buy them up before they crush them, and then I could have a strictly bimmer yard.
