Despite the fact that it was raining and I wasn’t feeling 100%, I went to the junkyard with a coworker.
We had talked about going to the junkyard at work on Friday since we were both free. He was looking for some interior lights to incorporate

It’s no longer that bright, that’s from the first iteration . He was able to get three from a couple early E90s. What did I need? I needed a wiper arm cover. I needed part #4.
I lost it at some point last year; it had come off when I was scraping ice off my car and I guess the plastic was too cold to correctly reseat. I thought about buying a new one, but the BMW dealer wanted $20 for a new one and I kind of forgot about it. The wiper arms are differnt on my E90 and my E92, so despite the junkyard trips, I thought I’d need to wait for an E92 to show up in the junkyard. F ortunately , LKQ of Greer had one on the yard. It looks like that I might have been able to get it from an E90, but I didn’t know that until recently.
The car had been on the yard for over a month, so I wasn’t super hopeful that it would have the wiper arm cover. Well, I’m happy to report, they did. In fact I got both.
I only took a picture of one.

I haven't wandered around a salvage yard in a while. I wish I had one locally. I used to be a frequent visitor to some of the Denver yards when I lived there.
HFV has no HFV. But somehow has 2 motorcycles

Neat. I honestly couldn’t tell you if my car has them or not.

Yours is a 2011, right? If so, it won't. My M3 doesn't have them.

Apart from the rain, it was enjoyable. I've been several times this year. Been going to them for a little over a decade now and I still really enjoy it.

Not sure, but I know my 2009 E92, pre-LCI E92, and my 2011 E90, LCI E90, are different. Found that out when I bought wipers at the same time for both. I bought the right wipers I was just surprised they weren't the same.

I envy people who can just get parts from the junkyard. I love going but none of the ones local to me have anything I need
