Hi Guys,

I'm looking for a bit of advice. My 2008 BMW 520d Touring has had a mishap and the car has been written off as uneconomical to repair. It wasn't a crash, it was the engine failing. I have retained the auto gearbox, the torque converter and the diesel injectors which I plan to sell on. Can anyone give me an idea of how much to ask for for these please. The car had done 150,000 miles. Sounds a little high I know, but the parts should be fit for another 50,000 miles or so I reckon.

Thanks

Mike

    I can only think to look at Ebay and similar sites to see what is available as a guide? you may even be able to find an engine that may make an economical repair possible, depends how much you liked the car?
