Will be parting out E28 M5 soon.

Post by Daver72 »

Have wanted to rebuild, but just haven't been able to. Sad to have to do this, but upcomming move cross country is pretty much forcing me.

Want to give the opportunity to the board members here, as I have been reading these forums for a long time, it seems that there are alot of people that really care for these cars and take care of them.

Brand new member, so I don't think I can reply to pms yet, but if you pm your email address I will get back to you answering any questions you may have.

I will try to dig up all my repair history, if i can find where I have stored it, having it towed to a shop between the holidays where it will be broken down and all parts cataloged. Transmission has about 1k on it since a full rebuild, will see if I can get the engine compression tested. One seat has shot motors at the very least, the other is good.

Thanks for checking this out, hope to hear from some of you soon.

I don't think we have a posting requirement for new members. I could be wrong, though. I'm interested in the steering box. How much shipped to 20165?

Ahh, it seems I can reply to pm's, used to boards that have a minimum post count before you can....

This post is just a heads up, chance for me to start documenting interest, I wont know how much things will cost shipping wise (weight and how big a box I will need to ship in etc.) until we start the tear down which should be right after the holidays.

As for shipping prices, whatever UPS/USPS or if its a much larger part (ie engine or transmission) a frieght company charges is what I will tack on to the price of the item. While I am looking to get fair market value for the parts, I want them to go to enthusiasts such as yourselves and understand from my own experience the difficulty of tracking some of these down.

That being said, if anyone can reccomend a good freight shipping company, it would save me some research when the time comes.

I'm thinking this car is rebuildable! Depending on frame damage of course. Hope someone buys it for that purpose.

If you do part it, I'd be interested in the steering box.

Just wanted to thank everyone for the requests to date and give a little update.

I am out of town until the 27th of this month and the car is scheduled to go to the shop on Jan. 3rd. When I get back home, I will start emailing people with prices for the individual parts, but until I have the parts out of the car and documented and have shared the state of the parts with the potential buyers, I will not consider any prices set in stone.

I tried to respond to every request I have recieved so far, if I did miss you, I apologize, just send me another pm if you haven't heard back from me.

Happy Holidays everyone, talk to you soon.

Hey everyone,
Wanted to stop in and apologize for the lack of response to this thread. Unfortunatly, the person that was supposed to aid me in this part out has basically kept me hanging this whole time. I have been talking to another board member here who is semi local, wants a few of the larger parts and also happens to be a bmw master tech (he is welcome to let his name be known, but I dont feel I should post it unless he wants.) He is tentatively picking up the car next weekend and will be assisting me with the part out.
Since he is being so helpful and basically saving me from having to sell the car as a whole, or butcher it myself to get the parts people want, I feel that I should give him first dibs on anything he would like (he has been pm'ing me as well as posting here so he was in line for most of the things requested.)
Once he has the car, I will send out replies to all the pms looking for parts that are left, and hopefully, everyone can get what they need. As somone who has been through the pains of trying to restore one of these majestic machines, I want to get as many of these parts into the hands of the true enthusiasts that wander these boards.

Again, sorry for the long delay, and I look forward to getting all the parts out to all of you as soon as can be arranged.

With that, I'm interested in the driveshaft flanges if the ABS rings are in good condition.

Do you need a PM for this request or is this post sufficient?

Thanks for coming back to life. ;)

P.S. I'd like to get them fairly quickly if at all possible.

David,

If you have the interior "A" and "B" pillar covers in like new to mint condition, and they're not spoken for, I could use them for an all out restoration.

Thanks, Karl
