Right, i took a 325iSE in part-ex for my dolphin grey 325 as seen in my sig pic and at various meets around the country and was told it had LSD which would mean that it was worth breaking it for spares.
Turns out, its a 3.73 open diff and means my estimated total value of the car in parts is somewhat lower than with an LSD and consequently, i really cant be arsed to break it, as theres no money in it (well, only a break even+Ԛ£100ish)
So, the question is... do i continue breaking it or do i sell it complete?
The car is damaged to the front wing and front slam panel (slam panel is easy fix) but wing needs to be renewwed and painted. estimate Ԛ£120. inc parts.
The car effectively owes me 700quid and i would have been happy to see Ԛ£800 from it in parts, but with rusty rear arches, i cant see any1 buying it complete for that much(plus Ԛ£120 to repair front wing), even though its got MOT till december and tax till july. I could advertise it and sell it to sum1 who knows nothing about e30's, and leave them with a dog, but as everyone hopefully knows, thats not what im about!
So what do i do??? Do i continue breaking it and piss my parents off, or do i sell it complete to someone who wants the whole thing and struggle to get decent money for it, or do i sell it to a e30 newbie, which would make me feel as guilty as fcuk and i dont really wanna lumber sum1 with the car!
What do i do?
break or sell

Break it mate....I'm forever needing replacement parts for the bits I manage to break when taking them off the car.
It will take a bit longer to get rid of but at least you'll get most of your money back on it.
Chuck a list of parts in the parts section, guarantee by the end of the week 25% of the car will have gone.
I'm after some black leather door cards without the window winder holes if you have them.
