Damaged 2001 540i, worth $4,500?

Recommended Posts

Thinking about showing my parents this.

Anyone have any clue how much it would be to fix up??

Would it be worth it??

WILL BE SOLD DE-REGISTERED

Would think the place where the impact has happened would be quite hard to repair and the chassis is probably bent. Good for a V8 and some leather to stick into your car but i wouldn't bother with a repair..

You could even stick the wheels on you car!!!! :P

the Chassis is bent. Don't buy it

Bet me to it lol

The probe will sell for around 4-5k. Only 12k more needed. Do it

Sell my cat, she's worth a few grand to me. Hehe.

So if a car has a bent chassis it's stuffed? Isn't it fixable?

It is fixable yes, but It will never be the same.

Its like when you break a bone in your body. It only really ever heals to 80% strength.

Looks pretty good for parts:

+ Sat Nav

+ Wheels

+ Leather

+ Multifunction steering wheel

+ Car phone

+ Possibly tyres

+ Clear Angel eyes/tailights

all of that would be damn near $4.5k anyway!

Sigh. No. It just wont be perfect. It will drive ok

Eg I bent the chassis rail of my Levin. And I sold it a month after fixing it, because I just knew it wasn't perfect. Felt and drove fine.. But I.. just.. Knew. You know?

If anyone buys it to sell off as parts, I shot gun the leather.

Looking forward to the auction. I have no doubt that it will go for much more.
