Don't consider breaking it.

You might get £2k if you're lucky and patient breaking it yourself.

Selling it to a specialist breaker would yield a £500 ish offer and you might be lucky and get up to £1000.

To be honest, I don't think I could bring myself to do it any way. I just sometimes have mad ideas and express them without thinking!

No I wouldn't break it either even though it sounds like you won't.

It looks in good order - 18s still look in good shape and it's had the front angel eyes upgrade at some point (can't tell if CELIS ones at the back).

I test drove an S plate (V8) in that colour before I bought mine.

If the seats are the comfort ones (standard in the V8) they are amazing!

I love those Alpina wheels, bet they're a sod to clean though. Was that why you parked it up?

Cheers,

It has the celis rear lights. Not sure about the seats but they support you ok but are still suitable for taking longer drives in.
Gaz, I know what you mean but one of the other cars had BBS split rims. After that the old Alpina Cotton reels are a walk in the park!

Got the Alpina wheels and comfort seats on my e39 540i.

The seats are good, but the wheels are a PITA to live with. Anyone want to swap for a set of M parallels?
