Parting Out BMW Individual M-Sport 1995 540i

[Jean]

becuase the front shocks are 1300 each.

I think the steering wheel is cool, different than my 530i.
Also my e30 has e34 euro lights on them, the headlights are the same, swap the buckets.

4K for the whole car.

Put regular shocks, and 6speed. Save if it there is no rust

As much as I despise the color combinations, it's just ridiculous to part this car because it's an automatic and has blown front shocks. There were only 70 automatic '95 540 M-Sport cars made.

Here is what it needs,

front shocks, rear brakes, body damage fixed on passenger rear, auto tranny leaks, bold tires. Suspension in bad shape, Also this is M-Sport #1 off the line, there is a signed thing.

I was quoted with my BMW NA Wholesale account about 9K in parts alone. If someone wants to save it, let me know by Friday.

Also large items like the motor, transmission and diff will not be shipped, too much of a hassle. Please find someone in Seattle to ship these for you.

I can drive large items to you at cost of gas, which is 4.21 per gallon at my local station, also I have been told gas is going to go up another 25 cents this weekend. Delivery to SoCal is about $800 for large items that can fit in my car.

Greyhound will not accept the bumpers, been there and have been turned away.

Someone needs to buy this then. I have too much shit going on or I would!

[Jean]

I am sure if you lower the price of the whole car, since it's got a shit suspension, tranny , tires, body damage issue it's not going to be worth someone to pay 4k for it.

Parting it out sucks, but it's your car and your call :)

IMHO.

[robert1700]

Why would I, the wheels, brakes, door panels, M-door Sills, seats and body kit and been called for with a deposit. Thats $3700.

Plus I paid $3800. Find another one being parted out in the world.

[Jean]

Yep, you'll get more parting it out than trying to sell the whole thing.

[madsedan]

Wow, this thread hurts my heart. If I wasn't so far away I'd go in with a couple of fellow CCA guys and we'd buy it and restore it, crazy.

[robert1700]

its officially a parts car, there is rust on the frame to.

door panels, brakes sold.

[robert1700]

motor sold, parts will be taken off starting Tuesday.

Holy crap
This thing is sweet..

But alas.. As much as I love a clean Bimmer, the businessman in me screams that parting this beauty is a good move.. Instantly double your investment.. GLWS
