Heated front screens

[Turbo-Brown]

I've just been contacted by a (reliable) chap who's asked if I'd like a heated screen for the E30.

He has 4No. available at a cost of £136 each including VAT (will confirm that) plus delivery.

I'm definately having one for myself so there should be three up for grabs.

The way I would want the GB to work is that a deposit of 50% is paid up front to me, and the buyer travels to a collection point in Essex (the guy's having a load of scoobie screens sent there too) to inspect their screen and pay the remaining 50%.

If the screen is damaged the deposit will be refunded and I'll claim from the carrier, if the screen is fine then the remainder of the cash will be expected and the screen can be taken away.

I really don't want to get into posting screens to other people and the £136 is exactly what I've been quoted so there's no meat on the bone for me to be pissing about with.

Definate "yes" and genuine queries below below.

Cheers!

Alex

Are these still up for grabs turbo?

[Turbo-Brown]

They sure are!

Apparently the guy went ahead and bought all four.

Final price was about £141 iirc but they do need collecting from Essex.

[gareth]

absolute bargain!
ideal for a track / race car as you can bin the heater to save weight ant still see where you're going!

[Turbo-Brown]

And no pesky scraping the ice off the screen in winter either

[dips346]

are these the fully heated or just wiper heated

[Turbo-Brown]

Errrr, not sure what wiper heated means.

They're pretty much the same as the system Ford use, with the teeny weeny ziggy zaggy elements running from top to bottom of the whole screen if that's any help?

lol......thats the one
the wiper system is like the 7 ser where is just heats the bottom up only

You fitted one yet Mr Brown??

I'm assuming any reputable glass fitter can seal it in place and then it's just a couple of wires and a switch?

Also a proper good fit?? Being a non-bmw part, they fit spot on and are water tight, etc when fitted properly???

I really want one but will have to see if funds allow at start of November if there's one left!!

[Turbo-Brown]

Still got to arrange to pick mine up.

And it won't be going in the car until about March either so can't be much help there

[shorty73]

I'll definitely have one of these if there still available. I live and work all over Essex so can collect it asap.

[Turbo-Brown]

Coolio, could you send me an e-mail to mcbain3<at>gmail.com with your full name, address and a contact telephone number, I'll let you know as soon as we can go get them.

The guy who has them is trying to arrange a day when the most people are free to collect so could you include a list of dates you'd be able to do? Would rather do a weekend myself but I'm fairly flexible at the moment.

Cheers!

[e30_singh]

hey these still available i want one as well

i live in essex.

[Turbo-Brown]

Think they are, either that would be the last one, or there's one more still to go.

Will check.

Please could you send me the above info e30_singh?

[Turbo-Brown]

If the two guys who have said they'll have a screen have already e-mailed me their details, my apologies as they've gone into my spam and been deleted.

If you've not yet e-mailed me, please do so at your earliest opportunity.

[shorty73]

Just resent the email. Let me know if it gets through ok.

[Turbo-Brown]

Hi Craig,

Just checked and it's come through this time

[agreen]

are these still avalble have you got a contact number so i can buy one of these ???

[Turbo-Brown]

Hope no one thinks this is unfair, but it's going to have to be first come first served when it comes to sending me your details.

My e-mail address is up there, Craig's details have come through e30_singh's details haven't unfortunately.

Will check availability again now.

[agreen]

please let me know the outcome of this mate thanks

[shorty73]

Just picked mine up. Cheers Alex for sorting that out mate. Sh**ing myself that I'll break it now though.
Got to get it fitted asap so it's out of harms way.
Goodbye heater!!

Thanks again.

[Turbo-Brown]

Boo, I couldn't organise a suitable pick up car in time so I'll have to wait for mine

Couldn't post a piccy up could you Craig?

[shorty73]

I'll take some pics on wed. I'm getting it fitted then. It's wrapped up in about 10 layers of bubble wrap (I'm not joking!).
Such a clumsy twat I daren't go near it. I can tell you thought it is a pucker screen and the ziz zag element is close to invisible. Well worth the cash. I'm amazed that these haven't been snapped up and so's the seller.
Autoglass wanted £100 to fit it but I bumped into one of there fitters in Tesco and he'll do it for £40! Every little helps eh!

[agreen]

i want one have you got any more

[Turbo-Brown]

Yes, there are a couple going spare.

Please e-mail me your details as per the post above.

[agreen]

done

[jackherer]

I have two of these available still, if interested mail me at jackherer@gmail.com

[agreen]

i have emailed you mate

[g57yle]

Just a quickie, have these screens got the blue or green tint on the top? or are they clear? and any of that nice black bit around the edges or top? thanks

[Turbo-Brown]

No tint and no black margin, just clear with the elements in the interlayer

[miniblob]

Mr brown - you have pm!!!!

[beardymat]

any idea who the original supplier of these was?

i have done a search and only found screens for the m3 which i believe to be different as theyre bonded in.

wouldnt mind two, plain one for my new track slag project and if poss a top tint jobby for the sport luxerymobile. i would be asking if you had any left but its a long way to travel for a screen.

[Cabrio]

Matt...I have a supplier

[jimthejunior]

Any more info on these, like any more available, if not can any more be ordered etc. That looks a bloody good price to me and would be very useful in a track car etc. I would be wanting something like this later on in the year.

[g57yle]

If we had he correct rubbers would the M3 screen fit?
