Hi DJ,
It seems you are shooting yourself in the foot somewhat 
What is the difference between an Auto and a manual engine?
What can you tell from the last six digits of the VIN?
I am with Fey, how can you expect anyone to want to deal with you when you do not know the basics?

The thing is I know more than basics about BMW E36, not E39
And my job of this thread is just to find out what people want, say that to my friends back home and get the part if it's possible.
It's very good you all are mechanics, but I don't have to be one to tell my friends what you want. I never said I am a mechanic. I am a simple guy that can get some bimmer parts much cheaper than here (of course, if you want some cheaper parts)...

Hi DJ, What models will you cover? Will you have anything for e30s? Where do you get the parts? Are they from crashed cars, cars bought to break or what? I think it would help if you could give some more info, just popping up on a forum and saying you can get cheap parts sounds a bit dodgy, which I'm sure you're not. John

OK, that's fare enough, sorry for that 
SO, I am Lithuanian and have many friends mechanics at home. Everybody knows cars and car parts are the most expensive in IRELAND. I thought I might help you a bit and help my friends at the same time. Prices of car parts in Lithuania are much cheaper than here. The deal would be still cheaper including delivery.
Basicly, I can try getting any part you need, but it will take time. It would be used bimmer parts from parting out cars.
So, if you're looking for something, PM me with proper part details and I will see what I can do.

No, I don't think your alone there Emmet.
Don't mean to cause any offence but...... 'I can try getting any part you need, but it will take time. It would be used bimmer parts from parting out cars.

this would suggest that there are many bmw's registered , and or residing in Lithuania and alot of them are ready to be broken........ I don't know if this is the case, maybe Ive just got a very suspicious mind.

I am not suprised to hear that, guys. I know Lithuanian reputation is not the best in this country... However, it is just a beginning, that's why I can't talk confidently. I am looking for some bimmer parts for myself and just thought could get some parts for the others too, combined shipping. I am not asking money in advance or something, all I want to do is get the parts you wanted and make some money for relatives back home.
It was just an idea. You've already crossed me over. Just tried to be helpful.

And for your knowledge, you don't really understand how many cars are going to Eastern Europe throught Lithuania, it's the shortest link to Russia. And where do you think those cars are going from??? From GERMANY. So, Lithuanians buy damaged cars, fix or part them out and sell to Russians. That's why car bussiness is the best bussiness in there.
