Need BMW breaker

[Plazif]

Hi,

I own an e46 330ci convertible on a 52 plate.

I had the misfortune of ploughing into a badger on the M1 late Saturday night at very high speeds. Let's say the badger got obliterated but managed to take out a chunk of my car as well!

I need the following:
Front bumper
Both radiators
Fog lamp
Fan
Belts
A/c pulley
All the plastic around the fan
Plastic shielding for the cars undertray

Quite a bit of damage there!

Cant see the point in getting all new bits from BMW cos they'll cost a fortune and worried my insurers might end up declaring the car as an economical write off if I inform them

I would appreciate any help in finding a breakers yard that's basically got a full front end of an e46

Many thanks for any help

Quarry are very good! There are others around who may also be able to help with used parts that I know of.

Holyhead Race Developments in Telford. Run by brothers William and Jason Holyhead. They procure new and used parts as well as build and prep race cars. Thier knowledge on e36 and e46's is quite encyclopedic. Often the kind of parts taken off a race car during prep match many of those in the original post and these guys in turn have many contacts and could refer you. They have an e46 CI about to become a race car: 01952 503992

Just thought i'd share the damage with you!

just like to say a huge thank you to everyone who pointed me in right direction...

managed to nearly all of the parts from Holyhead Racing, got everything in for £200 which included a brand new M3 bumper they manufactur to fit the standard car!

and if anyone ever fancies track day in real race cars , the guys at Holyhead will hire out their race cars & deliver to any track... something to think about ;-)

Pleased to hear you had a bit of luck with HRD after your misfortune mate. Sorry to PH if at first I worried anyone, you know, first post and all that and plugging a company. They are simply friends of mine and I'm glad they could help out.
