    1988 E32 735i Part Out

    I am parting out a gray automatic 1988 E32 735i. I am using most of the interior for my 735i and the previous owner kept the engine, but there are still some good parts available. The car does have some rust and the factory gray paint has some sun fading. I will not be able to keep the shell indefinitely so please let me know if you need anything. I am willing to ship parts as well. Please see photos at the link below and feel free to contact me if you need additional photos. Thanks

    Parts I think are worth saving (partial list):

    black dash
    some of the interior and exterior trim
    interior trunk shelf (panel behind rear seats) with sunshade
    side mirrors
    rear bumper
    front bumper parts (bumper plastic cover is junk)
    front end parts (most are good)
    cluster with 103k miles
    steering wheel and airbag
    passenger side taillight
    headlights
    amber corner lights
    passenger side fog light
    transmission
    power steering components
    fuel pump and sending unit
    gas tank, looks to be in good shape but only one strap is good
    brakes (some rust, but could be cleaned up)
    three of the doors are OK (not driver's), but do have the typical surface rust along the bottoms
    windows
    trunk lid
    hood
    front fenders
    control modules and misc electrical components
    misc electrical wiring and harnesses (not the engine harness)

    I didn't know the 735 could be had with the wider grille from the 750 (there was no 740 in 1988 AFAIK). It must have been an option?

    I guess I missed that lol. Are you sure it's the wide one? It looks to be original. I don't see any accident repairs so far.

    Yes it's definitely the wide grille.
    If you have the VIN we could look at the options, maybe it's listed there.

    The VIN is: WBAGB4315J3205704 but when I tried to look it up the other day I couldn't not get any of the VIN decoder sites to give me anything that seemed accurate (several kept saying the car is a manual)

    Unfortunately, the car did not come with any floor mats at all and I'm using the carpet in my E32. Let me know if there is something else you need?

    Just the grill insert piece or the whole nose part with the grills? I should note that the car has a wide grill from a 750il...didn't realize that at first.

    The car is not nearly completely stripped and is probably headed to scrap this week. Let me know if you need something and I'll try and give you a great price. I've saved nearly everything off the car...

    Other good items I recently removed:
    Brake booster (with the "bomb") and master cylinder
    Steering box
    Wiper linkage
    Rear deck sun shade
    Lots of electrical bits and modules
    Driveshaft
    AC cooling fan
    Black dash in really nice condition
    Decent doors with working window regulators
    etc...

    this, im going to be cutting the e34 nose panel and using an e32 grille in its place like this guy did. my car being a wide grille e34 the 750il grille is exactly what im looking for.

    Is the rear deck power or manual sunshade?
