Me and J were trawling through our local scrapyard today finding small bits for our E30's and low and behold whats this......................

A F reg 750iL WOW! someone needs to shoe horn it in an E30. These engines are bombproof, just a touch thirsty i'd imagine! :eek:

It had leather everywhere, heated rear seats u name it! Economy guage too, whats the point in that! 8O

I asked him howmuch, "not alot mate, as who wants a V12!" so it's gonna be cheap :D

theres a dodgey 325i touring in there, with no cylinder head, manifold is there Nav along with the zorst. Took the door handles off that!

A calypso Red H reg 320SE in there with 69,00 miles!. I took the ICV off that fitted it to the sport, hoping this will do the trick! this car is nice and has a grey glovebox and under steering column too. I took that off, but left it on the bonnet of a car by the 325! glove box still there. It also has opening rear quaters and a 12 button OBC!
I took the front spoiler off it too for my SE and the wiper relay.

few other turds with not alot on them. Calypso car is nice but stacked ontop of 2 others cars and was rocking when we were clambering on it! Has good straight panels on it. I want the 320i badge on it! Oh the radiator looks brand spanking on it too. Has good cloth comfort seats in with no holes. Nice door cards theres alot to take off it! nice bumpers and smiley lights the list goes on! I took the handbrake surround too for the sport to get rid off the bloody tape holders!

Yes, I've seen that one. One heck of a piece of work.

Not keen on adding ~200kgs to my car though.

Still, very tempting....
