If I had an E30 I’d take those lights off your hands.

US E30 owners will pay good money for them. Especially the Euro head lights.

Interesting. Cost of shipping to the US is about €20.

Get looking at U.S. BMW forums. There are plenty in the U.S. that want Euro parts to make there U.S. cars more like how BMW wanted them made.

Not worth anything. Dump them. Then tell me where you dumped them.
Thanks

I thought all the euro lights had the smileys. http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=371831
Someone will most likely buy them if you put them up on ebay or panjo

The headlights will be worth shipping to the US. I have looked recently where they’re priced but somewhere between $100 and $200 USD should be earned easily enough.
Mirrors and kidney grills won’t be worth shipping. If you have them, the grills that go around the headlights in Europe are popular upgrades for US/Canadian cars as well. Other desirable euro market items would be the metal bumpers from early model years to replace the diving boards we got here and the dash clock is a well liked/rare item (most cars had some variant of on-board computer here).

I thought so too. The boxes with parts were in the back of an E30 Touring I bought in 2015, sight unseen on German Ebay. But that’s another story. The previous owner of that E30 probably parted out a car, resulting in these parts. These don’t have the smileys (?). Pre-facelift didn’t have the projectors, right?
edit : I’ve got it. 1988-only ‘bullseye’ lights. Pre-smiley, post facelift. I do remember the BMW I bought came with paperwork of both the Touring I bought and a secondary 325i Touring from 1988. That must be the parted out car these parts came from.
Random internet picture with these lights.

Ahh so basically just like the US post facelift ones. Someone would still buy them to put on a 325e or pre 88 car.

I just figured out the headlights are post-facelift but pre-smiley, 1987/88-only. They most likely came from a 1988 325iT and are apparently called “bullseye”. Interesting. I’ll see if I can identify and list the other parts. I’ve got lots of cloth seat fabric for some reason.

I found the grills that go around the headlights. No bumpers or clock though, although I did find a little computer with what looks like a bad screen. Over here they tend to upgrade the clocks to those computers if I’m not mistaken. I’ve got lots of parts I can’t identify though. They look like they’re from a seat frame or something. I wonder why someone would salvage those.

Sadly not, no. I do have a heated cloth driver seatback though. With only mild entry damage ;)

Yup, those grills will be worthwhile. North American models don’t have the rib/flat edge at the top of the lights. Despite not being the smileys, the lights and grills together should be easy enough to sell. Either eBay or one of several BMW forums (bimmerforums or r3vlimited are probably your best bet) should make it fairly pain-free.
Those other parts do look like seat frame components. It’s pretty common for the reclining mechanism to fail, causing the searback to lean to one side. Scrap metal.

I’m confident you can. If not in a conventional way, you can do it the Miss Mercedes way.
