Agreed ! I don't think there's enough of them on the road here at all to warrant a specialist parts supplier especially with all the existing sources as already mentioned as well as the GSF/Eurocarparts/Otto's.

Maybe it's just me, but with the bottom after falling out of the second hand car market I seem to be seeing less and less E30/E34's. Most will just scrap their E30/E34 and buy another car rather than spend anything significant on repairs/upkeep (only the hardened E30/E34 fans are going to maintain them to any right standard)....

I've had no issues getting E30 parts here - that said, theres alot more activity over on my site and E30Owners - most people on either site have no issues either.

Add in the likes of the zone and Chris Warburton and I think you'd be wasting your time!

I'm seriously thinking about setting up a parts shed specialising in E30's and E34 bits. The logic being that both are getting rare but donors are plentyful. So the question is...is there enough of an Irish market to justify a stand alone business in these marques?

Thoughts (risk adversial welcome) please.
