Scrapping a car with no wheels/suspension.

[blackE30indy]

pm'd you mate about something INDY

[maddogg]

I would have thought a local scrapyard would collect it. A few weeks ago scrap cars were fetching £120.00 ish but weighed one in this week and only got £80.00 ish. (it was only a mot failure pug106)

Sorry to jack the thread but is there a scrappie in Leeds with a HIAB? My 325i is now swiss cheese but has plenty of good bits to frag

edit - BTW its not the 2.7 in my sig! its a 325i se with 193k

[robbo86]

Am I correct in reading that its an IS (m42 engine)

with gearbox and engine..... I will pay you for them if they are in good nick!!!

[Nay]

iS did you say? 1.8 or 2.5, and does it still run? Coz i know a mate who may be a wee bit interested in a 1.8iS engine and i may well be interested in a 2.5iS? could be a way to quickly cover the scrapping cost.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

1.8 or 2.5?????? WTF?

[sideshowbob]

Is it a 318is ? If so what condition is the front splitter in, for the right money I could be interested

[robbo86]

1.8 or 2.5?????? WTF?

i thought you would have known the answer to this rosco I learnt it last night, someone put up a post asking where you could get a 2.5is

apparently although there wasnt a 2.5is people who own genuine sports sometimes call it a 325is rather than a 325i sport.... creating the idea that there is a 2.5is

let me see if i can find the link

[Nay]

Exactly. I may be interested in a 325i engine and i know someone who may be interested in the 318iS engine.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

No they don't. If they call it a 325is then they're stupid

The i.s. was an affliction confined to 4 pots.

Sport is a sport is a sport. Nowhere on the car is there a standalone 's' to mislead owners into such halfwittedness.

[GrindCulture]

If they call it a 325is then they're stupid

Or South African, as they had a 325iS over there.

[Rosc0PColtrane]

Or American IIRC

[robbo86]

i dunno, im looking like a moron now anyway because i cant find where that was posted up!!!

[Rosc0PColtrane]

I hate it when that happens!!!

If you can't get it lifted without wheels etc cut it up... even just for the fun of it. I was in the same situation but didn't have a trailer, I managed to get it gone with 4 trips to my local scrappie with it in the back of my tourer







If you do go down that road, use a bigger grinder than I did... LOL

[Tommo32]

Just look in the local paper or whatever for those adds that say 'we will buy your scrap car' etc etc. Any of those gyppos will take it no problem.

[town325i]
