Like everyone else - thanks to Steve Haygood for parts. He's the man.
On a sadder note:
Be careful when dealing with "Magicandmischief182"
I purchased some H1/H4 headlight housings from him and when they arrived I found them to be significantly different from what was represented to me through email and the telephone.
Update: Jeff (Magicandmischief182) has stepped up and taken care of this misunderstanding. I retract my earlier statements and would like to say that Jeff is an honorable young man who will, in fact, stand behind his wares.

FWIW. I bought a part from "magic and mischief" and it arrived quickly and appears to be as represented. I have not yet installed the chip to confirm that it works properly, but I have no reason to suspect that it will.not. It was packaged securely in a proper eprom box and mailed in a padded envelope. It has an authentic looking D'Sylva label on it.

I have purchased parts form "magic and mischief" as well, they were used parts, and i did not expect them to be "new", they were packaged perfectly and sent in a timely fashion, his price was more than fair.
headlights are some of the first pieces that rust accumulates on in areas that can hinder adjustment. if you were looking for a perfect set
i will definitely be buying from magic and mischief again if he has a part i need.

you should have been very specific and definitely requested pictures.The center reflectors were loose (jiggle with any movement) and create a "flickering" light effect which is guaranteed to get one pulled over. The retainer rings were bent-up pieces of crap that no self-respecting e28 owner would put on his car

There are many but I must mention Steve Haygood 1st. I work near his Houston supplier so I've gotten parts within 15 minutes and have bought too many parts to list, but it's always smooth sailing.
I am also grateful to: Ty, MarkM5, Robin, Chacka, IceHaus, TCD, Duke, David Harrison, Autobahn(Sean), Terrible Tony
I have been very fortunate. Kudos to you guys & apologies to those I may have left out.

It takes a lot for me to post publicly about someone.
All I can say is that, regarding Steve Haygood:
I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHAT ALL THE FUSS IS ABOUT
Horrible follow up, six or seven weeks for simple items, lost my address 3 times, not sure which parts I ordered, after clarifying several times. Very rushed.
Not one hint of sympathy or an apology.
Not impressed at all.
Will continue to use Maximillian's 800 950 2002 or BMA 818 240 1224

Board member Geerhed is an honest trader. I purchased his Bentley manual, it was in better shape than advertised, and was shipped promptly. He even shipped it prior to receiving my check.
Now only if he would come to his senses and get another e28 . . . .

Johnny Rocco!
Hey, I bought some parts from Johnny Rocco. Fair price for good parts. We used PayPal; something about the way I used caused us to have to wait for the funds to clear, so it took a several days + we did this over the holidays. The parts arrived well packed and in good condition.

email: tom@e28-teile.de for parts request.
I bought a as he called it "Standard flywheel" for a 524td. Seems to be the dual mass or "large mass" to me. Anyhow, flywheel is in excellent condition, with minimal wear on the ring gear. Surface is perfect, no hint of hot spotting. Even came with washer ring and bolts! Shipping was fast too!
$95 for the flywheel
$55 to ship

Great guy, Todd Held a BBS rear apron that i had been saving the extra cash for through the Christmas/holiday season. This helped me finally collect all the body pieces to finish this BBS body kit. Thanks again Todd @ everyone at TCD. Once I get my car back together I'll save up enough money to get a turbo unit installed.
