I agree with patsbimmer.

Used parts are used parts. No point in having to do the job twice as it fails again down the road or worse leaves you on the side of the road. What year and model? I get parts discount through some suppliers. You would have to come to me to pick it up or if you wanted me to install it i would do that for extra cost

@Snap, dropbox link failed. I'm assuming too much exhaust for the internet to handle.

I also need to address a few maintenance items before hitting the road. Planning to overhaul the cooling system, new fluids, and tires to name a few.  Any other recos for a long-distance trip? It'll be my first 1,000+ mile trip in the M.

Did anyone go to this?

I don't have much advice for the business idea, other than it would be hard to build without trust/reputation. It'd have to start as very low-cost or free consultations that eventually build your reputation. That being said, it probably would have helped me out ~3 years ago when I was buying my '98 328i. I absolutely love my car but at the time I overpaid for a car with near-blown (or blown) suspension, the usual dumping-fluid power steering system, and a leaky radiator. I don't regret it one bit, but had the car started in nicer condition, I wouldn't have minded [image: :)]

I grew up riding in the back seat of several E28's, so I'm gonna be stuck to these cars forever [image: :)] Can't wait to own an E28 M5 someday. Thanks for sharing the article!

Here is a good write up. http://www.creative-pro.net/bmw_diy/E_36_Cooling.pdf

The side mirror is back on! It took some blunt force rather than just pushing really hard. Thanks for the tip!
