Hi, I'm not a fellow Texan, but maybe I can help ya'. Try using copartfinder.com. You can search for salvage yards by year and make/model. It will give you a picture of the vehicle, the location and phone # of the yard and some other info on the vehicle. It lists the yards by distance from the zip code you enter. It's really a nice system. For the hell of it, I ran a search for a 81-88 528e (from my zip) and it did give a bunch of TX locations, so they are out there. Good Luck!
