    Parting out a 1981 e23 (US) 733i

    Decided not to part this car out, I'd rather see it go to someone who's going to use/drive it.

    images tomorrow.

    Let me know what you need.

    In N California, not sure I want to start shipping large items though- Don't mind on the smaller items.

    I'll get images up tonight.

    Keeping that for my car, sorry- planning on selling the 5spd conversion complete to include the console and related parts.

    I'll update the post to reflect what's not for sale.

    Oh man too bad you didn't have this hood available a few months ago, before a guy pulled one for me in Chico...which I still haven't driven up to get.
    This thing has nicer paint than my car...

    Thought about that when I went to look at it- It's almost too nice to part but I don't need another- May keep it intact and sit on it if I can find somewhere to store it, no more room at work... Or throw it on ebay, let someone else bring it back to it's glory. I'm just now getting the to trans into the '86, should be driving Monday/Tuesday and I'm going to focus on that car for a while.

    There is a crazy little voice in my head saying 'acquire this shell and drop the V8 & 6spd in'....
    Madness...

    can you take a picture of your dome lights? I have a 77 Euro E23 and I need a dome light but it's slightly different than the ones that are on ebay

    Happy to take picture, I'll put it up on this post.
    I've decided not to part it out, haven't had a chance to change post.

    Yeah, couldn't do it- It is too nice to part- Threw it up on eBay, low start no reserve- My son in UO (quack quack) get the proceeds.

    Nope- I parted it out a while ago, but I have another one for sale, an 86, needs the A clutches replaced but a 156K mile car that's highly optioned - PM if interested.

    Has the ultra rare aerodynamic side view mirrors, specifically designed to cut wind resistance- BY A BUNCH!!! End result is a much faster car!

    Get educated then come back and ask legit ?'s

    Haha yeah no worries.... I'll come and see you when the car makes 700hp at the wheels as those ultra rare aerodynamic side view mirrors may come in handy

    Yeah won't be cheap... but neither would ultra rare aerodynamic side view mirrors... Mind you I know which I'd rather, may aswell take the mirrors off entirely - they'll only really need to be there so that the highly educated people can see their reflection while they get chopped by a heavy old 7 series
