HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted January 23, 2013 Just in today some ex. malaysia cars. Among them a 2003 330i low spec sedan except for the Climate comfort laminated glass all around, flat tyre warning system and only, yes only 835 miles (1340 km) on the odometer. Understandably is in mint cond. Cannot be complied so will be stripped for parts. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted January 23, 2013 tamper dot??Yes you win the prize for the quickest off the rank. More importantly where can the `bullet proof glass go` ? Who could find a use for it in NZ? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HELLBM 1557 Report post Posted January 23, 2013 Would be interesting to know about the history of the car! Don't suppose you know anything Ray?Ex Malaysia. Part of a large consignment of Mercs and BMW`s most uncompliable.A couple of 645`s and `05 X5is 4.8 are others that could possibly be complied as special interest vehicles.

E30 325i Rag-Top 2956 Report post Posted January 26, 2013 More importantly where can the `bullet proof glass go` ? Who could find a use for it in NZ?Whilst the windows are laminated, I would not want to rely on them being bullet proof. Climate comfort glass is a brochure option which is selected to keep the heat and UV down in the car by use of filters in the glass. Thicker than standard glass but nowhere near the bulletproof stuff which is about an inch thick. Pretty sure there was never a Security version of the E46, which is what would have the full bullet proof stuff amongst others. This climate glass can be used in a standard E46 if seals and runners are changed. Clould be useful in sunny NZ and certainly would make it harder for low life's to break a side window and take your laptop! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mungous 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2013 I had that glass on my M5 in the Middle East - part of the "Gulf-spec". Also had a bigger radiator, tinted rear windows and a button on the HVAC that said "Max". When the mercury hits 50° you really rely on all those features. Needed cooled seats really. Glass was about 6mm thick. Not even close to bulletproof. Or IED-proof for that matter. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
