Indeed. I just wanted the best starting point possible.

Can anyone advise what the engine would be worth?

Its from an auto so hasn't been driven hard, and has only done 65k. (Its a 2.0i)

Anyone know when the classified forum will be back up?

Cheers!

The PBMW boys might be up for buying it seeing as it's such a low mileage example? The classifieds will be back up when the zone is relaunched in a few weeks.

Blue interior on a karminrot car is ick.

Is that not weinrot. Just it looks the same colour as mine which is wienrot. (will post up pics for comparison if you like), but if the bits for sale I will kill for one of the wings and the bootlid, they dont come up often in that colour!

Looks a good'un for a project breaker. Unfortunate to see such a nice one gone. Oh well, it wasn't an alpina or anything

Good luck with your project fella. If i lived in the mainland (and had space), the engine would be a nice for spare everything for my 320i Auto but i cant do that so cant take that paperweight from you.

Ok, well it looked the same as mine! I will try dig some pictures up for comparison.

Not actually sure what colour mine is to be honest! Is there a paint code under the bonnet?

Never interested me, as I will be re-painting a different colour!

Thanks for all the replies again everyone!

Just letting people know, I will be around for most of the day tomorrow, and if there are any bits from my car which people would be interested in, please just drop me a PM to get in touch!

I'm in Nottingham, just off j25 of the M1, and have a garage full of pretty much every part that was on my E30 shell!

Cheers, Rob.
