depends what you call "good" condition mate tbh. anywhere from Ã‚£80-Ã‚£280... all depends on what "good" means really. Pics speak a thousand words, as they say

First question then - Is it a genuine BMW kit or a replica?
Thats a Baur Cabrio by the looks of it! The hood may be of some use to a few of the members here.

I take it that youve either seen this at a breakers and wanna make some money off it or you run a breakers, coz even my driveway doesnt look that littered with cars!

The mtec 1 steering wheel is worth Ã‚£25 probably and if the kits genuine anywhere between Ã‚£80 and Ã‚£120 looking at the pics - the metal bumper on the back is bent and the front bumper has broken paint. No front fogs(which would be a bonus) Mtech 1 rear boot spoiler should come with the kit.

Whats the score then? Do you run a breakers or are you looking to buy and sell on?

How much is the breaker charging YOU for the kit?

What a mess! some useful bits to be had though by the looks of it.

I could do with some of the parts from the VW next to it!

Yes it is in a breakers but I'm NOT on here to make money out of other Zone Members.I was down there geting some stuff for my beamer and I looked around the other bmw's like you do.And this was in the corner on it's own,and I know how much some of you guys like the chrome bumper models and did not know if it would be of any use to any of you.The breaker only keeps them for about 4-5 weeks depeading on where they are staked in the yard, then their crushed reguardless of what has been taken off them.He had a 2 door grey cloth interior 4 head rests,could not be taken out as he had another car on top,he said that he was moving it after the weekend I went down on the Tuesday and he'd crushed the whole lot.It's a bloody shame it makes me want to

when it's making parts for our cars even more rarery.Here are some pics of this sacrilege

tourings!?! aw man

Post Sun Jan 16, 2005 7:42 pm

it pains me to see so many cars get crushed unneccessarily! Just look at the amount of euro smiley lights and bumpers and pannels that could be had! Ive seen a "smoothed in" mtec 2 aswell in a scrapper not far from me. Its worthless though, as the kit is a copy and the jobs been done....well,badly basically!!

people need shooting!!!! :shoot1:

You could make a fortune selling the Mtech I and II kits to us over here in the US, not to mention the chrome bumpers. A decent M-Tech I full kit will go for $5-600 USD, and the M-Tech II kits will go for double that any day. Euro chrome bumpers sell for about $300 USD for a nice pair.

The smiley headlights also fetch about $150 USD for a nice set.

www.r3vlimited.com is the best e30 forum in the US. If you guys are up for shipping items accross the pond, I'm sure you can find quite a few buyers.

The only problem is Ken, that with the Ãƒ”šÃ‚£ vs $ rate being somewhere close to Ãƒ”šÃ‚£1 = $1.80-1.85, $5-600 isnt really that much for them, considering we need to ship the stuff to you, and that sure isnt cheap across the pond!
For example, an mtec kit would PROBABLY cost Ãƒ”šÃ‚£150 AT LEAST just in shipping costs! thats about $270 U.S.
That leaves $230-330 u.s. to actually BUY the kit. thats about Ãƒ”šÃ‚£130-180. We can sell tech 1 kits in this country for that sort of cash easy, and we dont have to stress about shipping it half way across the world. Its nothing personal with you U.S guys at all... its just the monetary value isnt worth shipping stuff your side of the pond.... Its just the currency conversion that keeps us reluctant to ship to you guys.
Schmick (from australia) will back me up on this too.

^^^ I wasn't including shipping with those prices. A guy I know just had a full Tech I kit shipped over for $250 from the UK.

Yes... our dollar sucks right now...
