Hornung's ZHP Adventure

What are the rules on being able to remove things from the car? Is that where buying it back and parting it out comes into play?

I think you can get away with removing stuff from the car as long as it is replaced with something as mentioned above. You can swap the new wheels with shitty wheels and tires with no tread.

I think parting the car out is only worth while if you know that parts of the car are expensive and hard to find or if you have mods on the car that when removed can be resold for a lot. For example if your car had a supercharger or turbo it would benefit you to remove that and resell it if its still in goof shape.

Yeah I have parts that could easily make back the value of the car. Interior and anthracite headliner for sunroof equipped sedans would be valuable. Emissions equipment like the catalytic converters that are in the basement and the secondary air pump. I can sell the BRAND NEW MAF for $350. The tinted windows and shadowline trim finishers are worth something. The steering wheel can be cleaned up, the SILVER CUBE TRIM that only needs one replacement to be considered useful. Wheels and suspension. Differential. Exhaust. The whole car stripped of its usefullness aside from the part that makes it go will be for sale. I will have it all looked at and if I can get the car back for under $1k, I will definitely do so.

Best news I heard all day!

I had a tree fall on my e30 and after the buyback they gave me 1400-1800... and I still have full coverage on it, if I get it repaired correctly or at least to the eye the insurance adjuster will take note and pay me big bucks as the value goes up. And this car still has a strong lifeline!

Btw, those headers would fit my car nicely

Well I was in pain yesterday, and woke up today with immense back pain. Called out of work and I'm desperately trying to get a hold of my chiropractor for an emergency adjustment. Still nothing from insurance.

Looking at CPO'd 1 series for shits and giggles. What does everyone think of BMW DCT?

The 1 series DCT isn't as good as the M3 DCT. It's softer and ever so slightly slower. But, it is also comfortable, so it really depends on what you're looking for.
Since your driving style is more dynamic, I'd say you're probably going to find it just isn't quite "perfect" in its shifting speed. It is a great tranny though.

I keep finding them listed as Manual and then I see the missing pedal and wut.jpg appears on my face...found a really nice 128i ZMP in Cali. Link inbound.
