Eric,

Where are you buying the parts.  We've all see the FULL rebuild kits for
under $600.
With all name brand parts.  Now unless you are going to the BMW store to by
IH parts I can't see $1200 for parts.. even if you priced everything
separately and got it at "suggested retail".  Look it to it some more will
yea... I forget the name of the place that has the kits the cheapest but I'm
sure a post or two after mine someone will say.

Good luck,
