The interior and head of the engine is already taken - that is, unless someone makes me an "offer I can't refuse"

I'll take pictures of whatever you're interested in so you can get an idea of the condition, but everything is near-perfect, mechanically, physically, etc.

Tell me what you're interested in and I'll take pictures and give you a price (which of course is always negotiable).

I will not cover insurance costs though. You're welcome to come pick it up yourself, I'm in lancaster county, PA.

About half an hour from philly. Put in zip 17543 if you want to mapquest it.

I replaced the collant temp sensors (the ones that didn't work) a week before the accident. Fan shroud is busted from the accident, though the battery is near brand new. It's actually one of the best batteries I've ever seen in a car - I listened to the radio for 3 weeks as I worked on the car and it started right up. If you want I'll pull these over thanksgiving break. I won't be back home after the 30th until December 14th (end of semester) but if you wanted to stop by, as long as it was a weekend or after 4 - 6pm, my parents would give you the parts.

hmm I didn't put much thought into when I said "coolant sensor"

The coolant level sensor, my light is always on and its annoying as hell.

oh how about the accessory fan resistor as well as the wiring harness that goes on the radiator temperature sensor. (bought a new sensor and one of the wires broke off too close to fix) if I could have that harness with enough wire left on it to splice onto mine.

but yes I may be real interested in stopping buy if time will allow. Could you give me some prices? Not sure when I’ll be driving through perhaps December or even January if December doesn’t work out.

Thanks Eric.

Well, the car will be gone by the end of december hopefully. My dad understandibly doesn't want the car in the driveway forever. I can pull what you want. Whatever the parts go for on ebay, I'll give the stuff to you for about that. Negotiable too. Everything worked great though.

I'll take pics tomorrow. It was a bone stock "is" so the only thing it has is the stock m-tech lip spoiler. The parts are 100% compatible except a few minor things (which I have ways to find out.)

BTW I don't think any bmw should get a body kit - unless you're talking hamann, schnizter, etc.

OK i found a nice standard one with the M-Technic body. I don't believe they were sold like this in the USA and yours is more like the 323i coupe. As you can see, the Euro 325is looks quite the boy-racer, much like the E30 M3

That's terrible that you have to do this Eric, are you getting another Bimmer?

Oh most definitely. Even if it's just for saftey - the car held up extremely well. It did its job and took the impact, so my body didn't have to. The cars are too much fun... I'd be bored without another one.

I'm looking at e36's, but that's just looking.

yeah, you want to get rid of it quick, especially since its only getting colder.

you said the fan shroud bad damaged... you mean the inside one for the mechanical fan? Thats the one i need. Didn't know if the radiator protected it or not.
