Purchased what was advertised as 3.0 "performance" engine (M54B30 out of a BMW e46 330i/Ci ZHP). Buddy of mine picked it up and he dropped it off and noticed it was an AWD oil pan which ZHP's did not come AWD. On top of that the engine harness was cut in every place possible instead of simply taking 20 seconds to unplug it from the ECU which is located in the engine bay.. but a blessing in disguise I guess since I've discovered the CCV is destroyed.. heater inlet/coolant pipe under the manifold deteriorated. Anyways.. notified the salvage yard and they gave us a VIN that the engine came out of which was the VIN to a coupe. Coupes also did not come AWD.. This engine came out of an E83 X3 (shown top right of the sticker). I've discovered 4 of the valves on the intake side upon removing the intake manifold look horrible which I don't blame them since all they did was rip the motor out (literally...) which I will attempt to clean up myself since I'm outside the warranty date. At this point this motor is going to run me $2500 with everything needing to be replaced minus potential cost of refreshing the head. The ratings aren't for show.

Needed to replace a wheel after a recent winter storm after destroying one by sliding into a curb. After a couple other wheels from another distant merchant fell through, I called American Auto Salvage on the recommendation of our local G & G Auto Recycling. Ricky (Woodbridge location) & Teddy (Culpeper location) were BOTH really great to deal with. They did have the wheel and totally explained the process. Of course I needed the wheel yesterday and even though they were swamped with orders and had several inches of fresh snow all over their inventory, they had it ready by early afternoon the same day. I even got a call from them on my hour drive there to let me know that there were some cosmetic blemishes that weren't real clear on an earlier photo they had emailed me. I still checked it out and it was fine for my purpose. I really appreciate their great customer service, honesty, and thoroughness. I'd absolutely recommend them and use them again when the need arises. Thanks!
