Yes, there is a MB/BMW yard on North Shepherd in about the 6200 block on 
the right or east side. If you know Houston, it is north of North Loop 
610. If you speak Spanish you'll get along fine. The guy(s) speak 
English O.K. and they are pretty laid back and not too service minded 
from my little experience with them. I have a 560 SEC and a 280 CE and 
have not found coupe specific items but there are usually  4 door sedans 
from many series there so some mechanical parts may be available for 
you.  I'll try to get the name for you and a phone number over the weekend.

Is there something specific you need? My mechanic keep a pretty good 
stash of parts. Let me know.
