If its an M3 or Sport it might be worth saving, wouldn't bother if its just a standard car Alternative is find a good shell and swap the bits over.

I'd probably frag it unless you want to keep the car a VERY long time so it will be worthwhile repairing :cry:

You need to take the glovebox out and have a good poke about, save or scrap? Depends how much you like the car and your ability to repair it or the money to pay someone.

I speak as the owner of an E30 320i auto and an E36 316i. Both can just about out drag a milkfloat with the wind behind them! :D

P.S. Forgot to mention they're desirable 4 doors!
