Thanks Ricky Bobby,

From my limited perspective it seems like a lot of work dismantling a vehicle
In the garage then sending out the parts to all the buyers. Then there's the loading
the shell of the X in a shopping cart and wheeling it to the recycler.

Just kidding about the shopping cart.

I think its a good thing what Young is doing for the forums/community though since a lot of us could use the good parts on his car and as opposed to paying dealer pricing we could give him a few bucks for his med bills, and help him get into an even better E53/Bimmer for when he is recovered and able to drive again. The 4.8iS has a lot of nice goodies in it, definitely more value in the parts on that E53 as opposed to a base model 3.0

I agree with this. Lots of people needs working parts at a discount. TTGTR is doing the forum a service.

Shit the front brakes are an upgrade to any e53.

The rear bumper, and exhaust are also a sweet buy for a 4.4.

Shipping on some of this stuff will be a hard pill to swallow though. Even packaging.

Exhaust from resonator up to header is up for grabs, I already called him for the resonator back sections as I plan on fitting to my 5-speed
