We loaded up on $365 worth of BMW 3-series parts, M3 bumper at the Pull-A-Part in Birmingham, Alabama. It didn't take long for the vultures to circle the green 1997 BMW 318ti with the Contour wheels. I had just pulled the front bumper and started yanking seats. A crew of BMW drifting competitors from Atlanta shadowed my footsteps.
"You want those wheels?"
Yes, I thought, but my wheel barrow was already loaded and my wallet overwhelmed by my enthusiasm to spend parts on my $845 wrecker auction find.
"You can have them, I guess I don't need to spend any more money."
As soon as the words left my mouth I regretted them. The wheels were off the car in a matter of minutes and rolled away.
I continued to work for about four hours. Koni shocks, struts, and rear springs joined the bumper and white leather seats in my overflowing wheel barrow. I made my exit. Forced to carry the seats about 25 steps, sit them down, then retrieve the wheelbarrow full of parts and tools. The see-saw approach to moving the big load would not have been needed had I rented a golf cart.
I shoulda grabbed those wheels!
Stay tuned!
