Breaking W210 E36 AMG

[gurpz]

Seen this one being sold as a complete car many times now and am guessing the seller probably didnt get what he wanted for it every time so has decided to break it:

£570 for a wheel nut

What a waste

What a waste

Seems almost criminal to break it.

 

[gurpz]

What a waste

Agree

Is that a Brabus steering wheel ?

Do you think the AMG 3.6 will fit in my W202? If I bought the entire engine, wiring loom, ecu, transponder key.. Maybe my 280 manual gearbox will fit..

Yes to all of that. The C36 engine is based on the 2.8 unit. I don't know if it's the same story for the E36 but I'm sure someone will know

Cool idea, was just thinking out loud.. think though.. would be cheaper to buy a C36, I've done a couple of engine conversions.. 1.4 to 2.0 Astra, and a 8v to 16v in a Saxo.. cost a bloody fortune compared to selling the car and buying another!

THIS IS TURNING OUT TO BE A VERY EXPENSIVE WHEEL NUT!!!​

​

That's an understatement and a half!

Arent E36 AMG's the slowest of slow AMG's?

Still blow you into the weeds Ali

 

[Adam230K]

would the floor mats on that car fit a w202?

 

[Shude]

would the floor mats on that car fit a w202?

No.

 

[NW_Merc]

Would a car like that dismantled fetch more than if it was sold in its entirety?

 

[Dieselman]

£900 now.
And the sellers comment:

[Dieselman]

Would a car like that dismantled fetch more than if it was sold in its entirety?

Probably.
He wants £3k ish for the whole car.
Say AMG engine for £2k, then leather interior £400, mirrors £100 each, Diff £200, gearbox £300, wheels £400+.

Already worth more in bits.

I have bought a C36 engine to fit into my W201 2.6.
The problem is not the size of the engine , but the wiring, you need all the wiring to the dash , unbroken, also you need the ignition barrel and key, in addition to all you listed.
The devil is in the wiring.
