what auction can you go to and find damaged cars with clean title, the key is clean title, I said the labor would be around 1200, and yes I can get the parts for around 1100. I can see all you guys really don't know the business, if you know BMW's then you know that a 97 5 series isn't the same as a 98 M, and is ure isn't the same as a 96 range rover, and you not even being specific, 4.0, or the 4.6HSE. If you know cars then you know M3's hold their value more so than the regular ones. There is a place in Ft. Lauderdale that is called AUTO WORKS, they are a BMW only salvage yard., and yes all of the parts are OEM, not some cheap aftermarket ones. Keep in mind people clean titles are the key, I could care less about getting flamed, I know what these cars are worth, and I get what I want all day long. You just never know who is on here.
