Are you guys hoarding parts?

[D-O]

One man's hoarding is another man's prudence...

[Aeko]

Besides NLA or delays in production, we have to deal with a drop in QA. Have you seen the newer pillar covers, dead pedals, floor mats? Looks like blind children made them or chose the materials. Nothing matches!

I thought I was just going insane. Even the Genuine emblems are no longer metal.

They've been plastic as long as I can remember.

[SQ13]

Yeah I have a whole spare car.

Spare E46 m3 FTW

You’re screwed because you have to hoard double the amount of parts.

No. If the car becomes too troublesome to maintain because BMW sucks and stops making parts, then I’ll sell it and enjoy my Miata more instead. That goes for my E39 too. I could sell both BMWs and just about get into a GT4 🙄 I hear Porsche cares about keeping its classics on the road, for a lot of money of course.

I hear part of their keeping old parts around strategy is making part prices inversely proportional to remaining supply.

Exactly why I'm not hording as well. If it gets too tough to maintain the car goes, I've got others to enjoy. Granted they may not be an e46 m3 but close enough to keep me happy.

I'm not hoarding any parts. Just purchasing race parts at the moment. Might start collecting SMG components moving forward tho.

My attic and half my house is overfilled with desirable E46 parts. Are you not hoarding? LOL

[Carbon_m3]

I wouldnt say hoarding parts as im worried about them being NLA. But hoarding parts for stuff to do in the future or just spare parts. Ive got a ton of gaskets , bushings, rear strut bar, man i dont even know. Alot lol

[Max96]

Nope

[shibui]

Picked up two sets of OEM black carpets from a guy on CL for $70. You can bet I jumped on that.

[Silbergrau metallic]

With the values of our cars going up, and more and more parts becoming NLA. Are you guys hoarding multiples of one part? (ie carpets? lol)

No! absolutely not, You wouldn't happen to have a OEM E46 M3 CSL Intake lying around would you.
