BMw IX part out... which parts do I save?

[B0RN318]

Hey guys, I bought an ix last summer for $600, with the intention of putting it back on the road. It was a two owner car with 140,000 miles, that had been sitting for a few months.

But because of a bad VC and an automatic transmission, I decided to part it out. Everything is gone, besides the motor, transmission, front axles, transfer case, dme, and the front and rear drive shafts.

I've got to take the car to the scrap yard, which parts should I keep for future cars/to sell on to you IX guys?

You can always sell the front strut housings for a decent amount. Anything IX specific really. IX parts carry a 200% premium it seems like The same part on an IS I could have gotten for $50 I had to pay $130 for the IX one.

If the front diff is a 4.10 ratio I might be interested in buying it.

Everything that remains is what you should be keeping.

nothing to do with this thread but i see you reside in bountiful. i can't help my curiosity and have to ask: how many moms do you have?

Sell me the right front abs sensor if you can successfully remove it without breaking the plug.

At least four, but I can't tell who's a mom and who's a sister

I'm doing some tear down this weekend, I'll do my best and get back to you.

The rear diff was a 4.10, so I assume the front is a 4.10 as well, though I'm no expert on the ix

if it's an auto and it hasn't been replaced, the front is 4.10 as well.

So I've been messing with the car a bit. The boots on the front axles look like their in good condition, so I'm going to pull them out tomorrow to check condition, but I'm sure they're great. Either the vc is bad, or the splines on the front drive shaft are stripped, I'm going to take them out tomorrow as well. Do you guys know what fair prices for these parts are? Some local people are asking to buy

Clean front axles, good splines
Front and rear drive shafts
Toasted transfer case
