DENNIS,
I WAS BROWSING THRU THE 8 SERIES FORUM FOR THE FIRST TIME AND RAN ACCROSS YOUR MESSAGE RE: PARTS FOR SALE.
I RECENTLY PURCHASED AN 96 840CIA AND NOT TWO MONTHS INTO OWNING THE CAR HAD A 2X4 FLY OFF OF A TRUCK AND LAUNCH ITSELF RIGHT INTO THE NOSE OF MY ONCE PRESTINE 840. (INSURANCE DEDUCTABLE TOO HIGH TO COVER REPLACEMENT)ANYWAY, I LOOKED HI AND LOW FOR ANY KIND OF USED PARTS FOR THESE CARS BUT WHEN I CALLED AROUND THEY BASICALLY LAUGHED AT ME. I GAVE UP LOOKING. SO I SCHEDULED A REPAIR AT MY REPUTABLE DEALER SO THEY MAY COMPLETE REPAIR OF THE NOSE WHILE I GO AWAY ON VACATION. I DONT HAVE MUCH TIME CAUSE IM SCHEDULED FOR THE 1ST OF APRIL, IM LEAVING THE SECOND. SO I NEED TO ASK YOU IF YOUR FRONT NOSE PIECE/BUMPER COVER...WILL FIT MY CAR. EVEN IF IT GIVES MY CAR THE "850 LOOK" ...WHICH I PREFER,I DONT CARE. BUT IT WILL SAVE ME BIG $$$$ PLEASE CONTACT ME ASAP IF THIS PART IS STILL AVAILABLE CAUSE I DONT WANT TO CANCEL MY APPOINTMENT WITH THE DEALER. IM SICK OF SEEING THE WHOLE IN THE NOSE OF MY 40K BIMMER.

THANK YOU MUCH!
MIKE

PS
IF YOU KNOW ANYONE WITH ANY KIND OF SPARE PARTS FOR 840'S TELL THEM TO CONTACT ME. ALL PARTS ARE HARD TO FIND AND I DONT MIND STORING THEM.
