OK, so I'm cannibalizing the 840 parts car.. .finally.
Barbados green with tan interior.
Good engine, bad transmission.
I'm taking a lot off it for myself, I may grab more to keep for future projects, but there is a bunch of stuff I don't want or need... and this car is going to the crusher next door when I'm done with it at the end of the first week in January.
To save time -
No, the shifter plate was donated to Fern months ago.
No, the center vent is gone.
No, I'm keeping the X-brace, the brakes, and all the rear sub-frame stuff.
The nose, front lights, hood, trunk, & tail lights are gone.
No, that stupid brittle center thing that the rear seat belts go through on the parcel shelf is destroyed.
Someone asked me for a bracket for the power steering? a few months ago and I did not get around to attacking this project until now. If you still want it, let me know and I'll have it delivered gratis. Sorry for the delay.
If you want something, be specific and be realistic.
I'm not exactly motivated to spend my time stripping $5 parts off this thing, as I'm spending 10+hrs a day finishing CSi #25 to its original factory condition, as it is the display car made specially for the 1994 Detroit Auto Show.
That said, some of you know I'm more likely to give stuff away than sell it - in order to support the community. Plenty of folks have taken advantage of this over the years, and I've usually found it comes back around when I'm in need.
So, I'd like for this car to have given its life to help more live. Vehicular organ donor, if you will.
That doesn't mean everything is free... but there is that chance.
If I don't have to ship it, better chance.
If I don't have to take it off either (visitors welcome by prior appointment), best chance. In those cases, free lunch is always a motivator
But know there is a hard deadline on this opportunity. January 8th, 2019, this car will get crushed. Literally.
They are 2 doors down from the warehouse where I'm doing this project and it will get grabbed by their forklift and be gone.

Where the heck did you find a barbados green 840 parts car??? I've never seen a USA market car in that color before, let alone one that was so neglected it's headed for the crusher! I just sold my '95 Oxford Green 840ci Canadian parts car to a buddy last week, after getting a handful of small items off it. It was a great runner with lots of suspension upgrades so it wasn't time for its demise just yet. Could you post the VIN number? Maybe it's Laguna Green?
Barbados, Oxford, Sherwood Forest, I don't know which green it is... all I know is that it's a green p.o.s. with rusty spots. I bought it for parts, knowing it had years of back registration due that prevented it from ever being regged in CA again...
Aqua Metallic.... now THAT is a rare color
A & C pillars are cracked/broken
I'll see what I can do on the seat bits Roger...

Thats great, will pm my address so you can add shipping to the final cost. Thanks a lot.
Do you have a good lamp control module (LKM)?
Hello,
I have a 1994 BMW 840Ci in Melbourne, Australia. It's in good condition but recently the driver's side door handle (outer side) stopped working. I can open the door from the inside. I removed the inner door trim and found the upper lever broken. It's a zinc diecast part that links the opening mechanism with a 2" long vertical rod that is about 1/8" in diameter and has bends at either end that goes through holes in levers. I need the upper zinc diecast part that this rod links to. Happy to pay/buy the complete door lock. My car is a right-hand drive version and it's for the right-hand door (looking in the direction of travel).
Thanking you and best regards,
Howard de Zylva

Heard the seasons got to you. Feel better and get well soon.

If you still have it I need the oblong shaped cover that is under the rear bumper that covers the hole that contains the rear tow hook area. It just snaps on or off.
