Message	Four used oil pans on Ebay for $75 each, plus $12 shipping. New OEM fender is only $300 before BMWCCA discount. Or $225 from a discount seller (like Coz). Control arm was only $65(I just replaced control arms, ball joints, and tie rods as well.....), tie rod maybe $45. Apparently you can support the engine with a hoist (I have one), drop the crossmember and changepans relatively easily. I'd like to just have everything done by a BMW dealer if I can get insurance to cover it. Thanks, Mike --------------------------------------------------------
