All:
It's a sad moment for me, parting out my baby (91 525i). Listed below are Quick turn of events, followed by list of major parts for sale. I am also willing to sell the car as is to someone who is willing to fix and enjoy. I am located in the Washington DC area, so anyone local is welcome to stop by, and for those far away, I am will be happy to ship to you too..
Please contact me by e-mail or phone, because I sometimes I don't keep up with forums posts, but I will try.

I will be happy to take further pictures for any part you like. I took rigorous care of this car, and only used Mobil 1 since I bought it at 70k, and did most work myself. Transmission replaced about 4 years ago. It has 180 on it now. I was planning to keep it at least two more years and thus why I did the cylinder head job and everything under the hood, but I guess it wasn't meant to be with the accident and decided to let it go.
