The Series 1 280i I bought for spares for my race car is now taking up too much room so it has got to go (a bit of female interference is involved wink ). Over the next couple of weeks I'll be taking it apart and scrapping it. I'll be keeping stuff like suspension components, rear brake calipers, diff, steering rack and column, the odd electrical bits and maybe the doors, but all the other stuff will be available including the engine and gearbox which has been in dry storage for 5 years.

I intend cutting the body up into quarters and removing all the glass so if anybody would specifically like me to save anything for them please let me know. The instruments and switches are all in good nick as is the dash and glove box lid. If the chassis is in reasonable condition I may store it but if not I'll weigh it in.

Editted to clarify that all bits are for sale and not FOC smile

Could do with the drivers side window and Windscreen sun blinds if you still have them.
