Aus 130i to be turned into racer, looking to get rid of & swap parts

[130iRacer]

Hi everyone,

I live in Perth, Western Australia, and I've recently acquired a 2006 130i E87 that I am now in the process of turning into a tarmac race car. This means most of the interior is being stripped, non essential pieces are being left off the car to save weight, and I am looking to get rid of and swap some parts to recoup some of the cost of the car. The car is obviously the M-Sport package, and is in the Titanium Silver metallic colour, with boston leather black trim.

This is not yet a final list of what I am willing to get rid of on the car as I am not the only one invested in it. I am primarily trying to canvas some reactions. Those interested in possible swaps/purchases can thus reply and I can see what needs preserving. Some may stay on the list, some may come off, new ones may come on. If you can think of something that a race car doesn't need and you would like, suggest it.

There is one special thing in particular I would like to trade: I have no use for the PDC system in it's entirety. That means sensors, module, module holder, and importantly, the M-sport rear bumper with the sensor holes. If someone is looking to retrofit a PDC system to their vehicle I can provide these parts in exchange for your bumper without the holes. I don't mind about colour as long as you don't, as this vehicle is being repainted.

So far I have the following things I'm reasonably sure I am getting rid of:

-Sunroof assembly & glass
-Roof lining to fit sunroof
-Entire airbag system & controller
-Seatbelts
-Pillar trims
-Cargo area linings & trims
-A/C compressor & lines
-Back seat bench & back seat uprights
-Front & rear carpets
-Full BMW professional sound system including cd changer
-Original rear muffler
-Front full power seats, driver & passenger, driver has memory
-All the water channeling & the cabin filter from on top of the engine bay
-Wiper fluid reservoir
-Ride height sensors
-Original brake calipers & rotors
-Handbrake lever
-M sport shocks & springs (BIG maybe, may need to be kept as backup)

Just note the following things need to stay in the car due to the series regulations/because I want them too, so don't suggest them:

-Steering wheel (don't need the airbag though, a popped cover would do me)
-Dashboard
-Front & centre console
-Pedals
-A few others I can't remember off the top of my head.

Not limited to the Perth area. Interstate & international as fine as long as you are aware of shipping costs. If you're interested, just reply! Thanks for looking.

Hah, what do you want pictures of? The gutted carcass of a 130i in the process of having a rollcage fitted, or a storage box full of car parts?

Seriously speaking I didn't think very far ahead and didn't take pictures of the parts by themselves. It's late now, but I can provide pictures of the car from before it was taken apart later. If serious offers come around I will dig out the relevant parts and take pictures.

Again, I just looking for reactions at the moment!

hey mate im in perth too and interested in the professional headunit if you have the bluetooth option and aux option?

[woosh]

hey mate, i think you'd have more bites if you post in the australian subforum section (link: http://www.1addicts.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=245). fyi some of the interior parts are interchangeable with the coupe variant. also consider selling your unused items to a prestige wrecker. they'll pay very good money for seats/airbags etc

what colour is the car currently by the way? black?

Only Aux unfortunately, no bluetooth or USB.

Titanium Silver. Interior is all black, that includes roof lining & pillar trims.

Pictures will come eventually, a but short on time at the moment. Thank you for the interest.

Hi mate. I'm in Perth too. What are you asking for for you Parking Distance Sensors? Does this come with the interior PD console?

Also what are you asking for for your 130i exhaust system?

Cheers
