            Yeah because of that I'll probably just order oem ones whenever I get to it. Let me know if you wanna do that too.

                If you do get a discount, order 2 extra e30 fenders haha.

                  You don't need brand new E30 fenders, you could find a pair of used fenders in good shape no problem

                    Yeah, go to Gibsons. Last time I was there, there was at least 5 e30's.

                        Basically. I wouldn't be ordering BRAND NEW OEM fenders for my car, if they were everywhere. That's the complete opposite with E30's. Abundance of them

                              Neenah/Appleton area. 3 hour drive for you mang.

                              ALSO, found out what the problem was on the E28 finally. WHEEL BEARING :(

                              $100 in parts. And of course, a super special tool ($400 tool) is needed to do the replacement... Awesome. Fuck me right.

                                  $100 in parts? Do you know what Rock Auto is? Special tool? You mean a bearing press?

                                    If its a front bearing buy it pre-pressed into the hub, rent a 3-jaw puller to remove it and use the axle nut to drive it back on.

                                    If its a rear, then Auto Zone has Timken bearings for ~$54 each for BMWs. I spent about $9 worth of nuts, washers, and threaded rod to make my own tool to press the new bearing in.

                                        Rear bearing. An Earl, it's alot easier with the special tool. We'll see. I gotta talk to J-design, see if I can snag a spot in his shop this weekend, and snag a few hours at his work..
