Breaking 2001 CDT in Zircon Silver...FREE - **NLA**

bassman · 15th July 2016, 17:42

5 years ago when I scrapped my BMW, I got around £300 for it...today the price of scrap is much lower and theyre offering around £70 for my CDT.

Ive taken off the PPD bits and the new rear box, new o/s caliper, Bosche MAF and a few other bits.

The doors and bonnet/boot lid are all rust free. I think Ive got all I want off it.

The rest of the bits are free if you wish to remove them, all I ask is that if for instance you want a door, you replace it with your old door...(Engine bits and interior bits neednt be replaced)

Car will be gone by the end of the month(could even be earlier), but you're welcome to cannibalise it before then....

I am situated on the A183 between the A19 Sunderland and the A1 at Chester-le_Street

TBH, the rear bumper is possibly its worst feature...I remember when I put the tow bar on, it had some of its fixing holes damaged, it never quite fitted properly on one side, it is scratched where the tow bar was, and Ive just removed the 4 reversing sensors.....so its not very pretty.

Having said that, if you think it's better than yours I could certainly keep it for a while, incase you can get a pony express lift...although it may be difficult to get into a normal saloon.

Thanks for the kind offer buddy. Mines not to bad in all fairness. There's a few hair line cracks in the paint work which my eye keeps getting drawn to and as ever I am just trying to seek something that's a little better.
Many thanks again.
Johnny

Hi
Do you have the drivers seat 8 way electric switch and the bonnet switch? Thanks

trikey · 17th July 2016, 15:03

Nice gesture

Good zircon panels are difficult to get hold of these days.

If they are standard on the Con SE, then yes I'll have them...but TBH, I cant picture them from your post....Theres 3 switches on the drivers seat, but cant think of an 8 way one....as for the bonnet switch, do you mean the lever to unlock the bonnet.....the one alongside the drivers footwell that is

Bassman, my 75 is a preface lift, it has 2 controls, yours must be a facelift car. Thanks for the reply.
