<E30> Profile gasket parts for 318 ?

[Paul <pbruce@xxxxxxx>]

Hi, I know everybody is probably tired of this subject. I have my '91 318 
torn apart at this time, and will be getting parts next week. Everything 
practically looks new at 94,000, and the chain looks great and is tight.I 
realize there is a list of parts on Dale Buening's site to do this 
repair. I was wondering if a headset and a timing case gasket set would 
be more efficient to purchase than the parts individually? Also would the 
gasket sets have the profile gasket included? My Father and I have taken 
on this task with a little help from some import mechanics. I want to do 
the job right but efficiently. I hear the labor is the big cost factor, 
which I am saving a ton there. May take a little longer, but should be 
done right. I do have the parts numbers from that list, I am hoping that 
Dallas European Car Parts will be able to get them. BMW should offer the 
parts at cost since it is a defect and I providing the labor?  Anyone had 
any luck getting parts at cost for this? Any help appreciated, cannot 
wait to get the car out of surgery. PAul Bruce '91 318 IS
