Hey Texholdem, I have a smoked silver W210 just like the totaled one in the pics. Did you notice if the interior was mushroom? If so, did you notice if the driver's side seat bottom cover was OK?

Yes, the interior was mushroom as mine but it was a mess inside, perhaps only because of dirt and debris lying around, did not notice tear or damages to the front seats, the back seats were turned over though, someone might have taken the battery.

Hey man those parts are cheap down here in houston. Maybe i can help you out.Tell me what you need. And your in luck because i come to Dallas allmost every week. So ill hook you up man. Give me the year and make and list. I go every weekend. Im going tomorow morning just b4 work for about an hour to get a block heater. man they have a bunch of block heaters and im gonna gettem allllll. When i get your list or anyone else who wants me to help them, i'll take pics of the car and the parts b4 i pull them and give u the exact price they charge and wait 4 you 2 tell me to pullem or not. Man im so excited about all thee block heaters ive been finding. And they all workkkkkkkkkk. Those things cost like 50 bucks online. And the fiber wheels for you sunroof motor? Man those cost 90 bucks online. Hell I gettem for free. The ladys says aw hell take it. i get one allmost everytime i go. i have a 83 and 84 300d.

I was there the other day and there is a fairly nice 1991 300CE - Black - looks like owned by an elderly couple from a random photo found inside - I didn't need anything from it - but took note of the windshield since my 86 300E windscreen has a crack that doesn't NEED replacing, but I may anyway just because

I second the thought that most of what I find is 126 and 123's - but as time goes by they should be getting some of the old 124's in too.

Anyone in SA want to meet up there and scavenge together I'd be up for helping get some of the big stuff (like an engine or trans) if someone needs it - I like to play in the junkyard Send me a PM.

John in San Antonio

Sorry man didnt see the car today.

In my country wrecking yards are now called auto recyclers.
A lot of the parts on the bay are from them.
They even buy up whole cars on ebay to part out.

There are specialist German car recyclers which carry Bimmer, Benz spares.
You wont get much of a deal from those guys
Some of these yards import whole bodies from Europe to breakdown and sell the parts

Sometimes it cheaper to buy our parts from the U.S. even taking into account the shipping.
