Thinking of breaking my zed
Thinking of breaking my zed
I have a S50 estoril blue m roadster.
Great running car but a slight error on my part when rolling the car back into the garage, I bent the drivers door.
Have a replacement but having had my time with it, I was considering sale or breaking.
What you reckon would be best? I.e what would be worth more?
It has about 80k on the clock though the engine was rebuilt about 10k ago....

Good ones go for 8k+ not 6k, I think one sold for 6k which looked like a right dog

Unless i am mistaken you were selling parts off a silver 1.9 a couple of months ago which when asked you didnt say how much you wanted for them, now you have an M which could be broken up, are you a breaker
Pic of the car last summer in Spain parked to a massive pineapple!
Drove the car there and back and was faultless! Pissed of I was so daft and damaged the door. However, I did manage to buy a replacement door with glass for £36. I then bought the passenger door for 99p from the same chap and rear quarters for 99p each (though they were of a 1.9 but for that price why turn it up??).
Maybe I ought to consider a full strip down and rebuild...... Something to do over the winter months....[/img]
Re: z
Not a breaker. See post above. Needed a door so bought off a chap who had broken a 1.9. Decided to buy the other parts off him for 99p each!!!hornel Z3M wrote:Unless i am mistaken you were selling parts off a silver 1.9 a couple of months ago which when asked you didnt say how much you wanted for them, now you have an M which could be broken up, are you a breaker
Sorry, haven't looked at my last post in ages. Still interested in the rear quarters?

You dont want to break that, it is superb. you should change the door and drive it
Re: m
looking of the pics of that holiday is bringing back the enthusiasm.hornel Z3M wrote:You dont want to break that, it is superb. you should change the door and drive it
To be honesy, if I start I don't know where it will end....
Full respray....
New hood.... (this car has a black hood rather than the usual blue - german spec according to BMW, along with the chrome window surround)
Refurbed wheels....
Full retrim... (driver seat typically marked on bolster)
Maybe a few tasteful mods..... rechrome the window surround and chrome on the grills with shadow chrome....
Ahhhhh the thoughts!!! Even considered respray in blue velvet....
Just had a few holes filled on my dash, i used EPS.

But you would like to thank all the /cretins who want you to break your car
Re: m
Well each to their own. Would rather pass over the whole thing rather than break. Though I am tempted to really go to town on it (can't do something half assed). Only problem is I could get carried away and blow a fortune. Plus theres a company near me that puts LS3 engines in z3's.....hornel Z3M wrote:But you would like to thank all the /cretins who want you to break your car
The missus is gonna cut my balls off! She wanted me to get rid in favour of an X5....

Re: Thinking of breaking my zed
If you want rid then stick up a price, it would seem plenty of potential takers lurking on the forum.
FYI an s50 M which was listed as cat D just sold for £5k on ebay this week, pictures showed it was rough arse round the edges too!
I think you'll have to put in a lot of effort to break and get that sort of money but it is easily done, poss £2-3k for engine, £300 LSD, £250 interior, £300 ish wheels etc etc
As Shantybeater said a good one aint going to be sold much short of £8k, if not more. I paid £7500 for a reasonably clean one with work needed this year

As I don't have time to fix, I won't have time to break either (at least not at the moment as I have other things on the go).
1st 4.5k can take it away an i'll even throw in a spare passenger door (inc glass etc...) and 2 rear quarters from a standard zed.
Re: Thinking of breaking my zed
Might be best to post a few extra details:
Location;
Mot/Tax;
Service history/receipts
Work needed / condition of consumables (tyres/brakes etc)
Better still do a proper advert in the stock exchange section - I need to speak to the mrs's bank asap!

Rear tyres are due replacement but brakes all round are good.
Engine was actually rebuilt less than 10k ago by the same people I got it from who are known in the BMW race circuit in the UK.
History isn't complete as it was a finance repossession before I got my grubby hands on it. BMW tracked down some history for me but as the car is Munich special order (black hood and chrome window surrounds) it is not a uk spec.
Driver door and wing bolloxed (it rolled back with door open and caught on a low wall). I have the replacement wing and door ready to go, just needin paint. About 80k on the clock.

Oh, I'm Nr Cannock in Staffordshire.
Car starts etc... But would need trailer to take away.

Re: Thinking of breaking my zed
Are you sure it's not UK spec??? Whats last 7 digits of VIN?
Mine has black hood (standard was black wasn't it?) and chrome surrounds (optional extra) but is UK spec

Estoril cars came with a blue hood and chrome surrounds on M's where usually a costly extra (though I've not seen another with it). VIN is B06831

Re: Thinking of breaking my zed
Wow! What a saga. Just sat and read this with the wife! Congratulations on the birth of your son, but my advice would be to sell your son and keep your car! Or better still keep both
Re: Thinking of breaking my zed
Cheers mate. Have to say that I've fallen back in love with the zed. Looking forward to spring though wife quite enjoys reminding me that there's no isofix!!Davejue1 wrote:Wow! What a saga.
