On the way home tonight and shit happened:

Engine jumped forward lol

and how it was before (not much defference)

Image


Where the engine has moved I think its broken the center prop mount or something in that area as well (will have a look over the weekend)

Question is do I repair it or break it?

If I break it the main bits are:

4 x 15" BBS wheels but with 4 almost new P6000 tyres

3.64 LSD GWO

325i Engine/gearbox

Genuine 4dr tec (no bumpers) but all side bits etc and boot spoiler

rear head rests

Everything else

Hope you like the pics lol

to be honest i would get myself a 2door and swap all you're good bits over and build a minter but i suppose it depends on you're mechanical knowledge/space/time frame otherwise it does'nt look too bad but until you look deeper into it i suppose you wont know the extent of the damage
