        The end is nigh !, the blue 745 is about to die , i 've got it all up and running and went for a spin in it today and it flies. Tomorrow the victim is supposed to be bringing me a bag of money , then the gas axe gets lit and it will be disembowelled. Its running gear is then off to aus to be fitted in a 3.0 cs!

          Don't worry fellow e23 fiends the white 745 turd won't be fragged ,i'm going to go for the $350 350 bhp chip and wastegate mod and see how long the gearbox will last !.

Another Buffalo leather trim in the crusher then! I'll
come over and help you break it up.
This time next week, a 745i with Buffalo trim will be
in the baler, cubed, on a truck to Coventry then
shredded and tipped into the furnace. Leather
doesn't last long at 800 degrees does it?

Unless someone actually gives Hiab a few quid for
the trim and saves it.

No, thought not.




Next week:

"Hey, here's a cheap E23 on Ebay with leather
trim.........."

Hiab,

send your unwanted E23s to Lagos! The Nigerians love 'em.

they will send you some oil and a mail order bride in return.

       Phillip , nigerians are lots of things but they ain't stupid,  a stolen 02 s500 or a stolen e23 mmmm difficult choice ?.

       yes i am trying to sell 3 e23 buffalo trims, one manual one electric, one  memory, i have had a couple of enquiries but when i suggest to people i will not deliver it and fit it for £20 they seem to get put off . I hate waste but if no hero comes up with dollars there will be  special edition  chinese rover 75s with e23 buffalo leather trim !

No really Hiab, Tony sent his e23 to the crusher, but the crusher boys sold it to the Nigerians who patch 'em up and use 'em. As Govt limos (possibly).

Can you remind us nutters one final time, the colours of each of your buffalo sets please.

the manual set is of interest to me if the fronts have those dinky little armrests.

Mark should grab one of the electric sets. Keep his cream elec rear seat and install the buffalo fronts!

     Sorry Phillip the manual interior has no front armrests, is dark grey with stitched leather door handles. The car has done 50000 miles, the seats are undamaged/not worn but are faded at the top of the rear seat. The electric interior is an executive model with full leather door panels, consoles etc fixed back seat and is nutria brown. The memory trim is a dark grey interior with full leather consoles door panels etc and a fixed back seat . I want £100 each interior or there off to china !

COME ON YOU NUTTERS

you know you want a spare buffalo set in your parts hoard.

hiab, do you know if armrests on their brackets can be attached to the non-armrest seats? people say its an easy retro fit.

shame about the rust, very few early ones left now.

will make a good engine donor for an E9 or E3 project.

hey Spokey, have you been bidding on a couple of cheap E34s? I keep seeing someone like SpokeyEB on the bids list.

what are you up to?

Philip why don't you get the trim with all the door cars and consols, Would be mutch better in the ss than cream with the blue cloth door cards, I would buy but have not the space it is bad enouth with 4 doors, can't keep it high and dry 

I don't thinks buffalow would go with my creem trim, and I like my working electric rears.

Just hear that sound of tearing metal and splintering
glass as the jaws of the crusher close in on the 745i.

Even I might be swayed by that S plate 733i. I would
have thought £99 is more than enough for it but it
(almost) wants saving. They used to go like a rocket,
3 speed auto, manual heater controls and the clock
in the centre of the heater fan dial. What a great old
smoker - and (thankfully) rare.

The colour is Granatrot. It wants rescuing - as
worthless and useless as a 1978 733i is, it would
be a pity to see that die.

Hmmmmm...........

 what good is and engine and gearbox less 745 to me then. now if it were all there then maybe, because I do Fancy a 745 if it were going to the scrapper to rescue it but the price would have to be right, and I have me old e23 to fix yet and when the steering stuff come to 300 quid ,and 25 quid for a wheel Bering. I must be mad but its sooooo nice and I am soooo stupid  

So if a 3 speed auto 733 go's well Duse a 3 speed 735 go better

Andy why, how do you stop this manic depression on e23's. It's a good job I don't have space

It's called humour :-)

I've had more E23's than anyone else here! Eight in
total and I drove and used every one of them - into
the ground
Four were driven into the scrapyard by me when they
were finished, two were sold on and two were
destroyed in the 'Lock Stock' spin off TV Series 4-5
years ago. About £140'000 worth, dead.
When I had them, there were plenty about so I'm not
guilty!

I have cream leather door cards for the SS and I like the cream leather with the blue carpets.

Would still love to have one of hiabs buffalo sets though, as my lounge suite is getting knackered

you could erect a shed in your back garden & fill it with E23 bits!

Andy, I expected you to really slag the 733i, and now you wanna save it and sell it to a nutter for £575 after you've put scrunched up newspaper & a skim of filler over the rust holes

I figure that a 733i that someone has owned and
cared for since 1978 deserves to be saved. It will
never be worth anything but for £100 I'll have a go.
