I'm going to be picking up a 728i donor car shortly and was wandering if there was anything worth removing and selling on before I scrap it. Pretty sure it's boggo spec.

E38's are very good breakers. Front end panels, lights, electronic modules, the autobox.

What else is wrong with it?

Very tatty in places, passenger door will not open. Rotors are warped big style. Autobox didn't miss a beat all the time I drove it.... Hard lol.

One or two bits underneath need sorting, prob going to take off the tasty morsles and then weigh it in.

Where's the best plase to frag it?
