I'm sure someone was selling a coupe bodyshell on ebay recently. Think they wanted around £3.5k
@pgunter what damage to the rear?
I did not read anything about that in the add, only roof and panel damage, so the car has probably been rolled or something fell on it!!
Also, that photo is obviously not a photo of the car that is advertised in the auction.
Buyer beware.......
@bruce&kim Pretty sure its a scam, more info over on Z3Mcoupe.com

I have emailed asking for details of parts.. Will do a cash on collection.. See what happens..
I emailed him about the side vents this morning, only wants £75 posted. What a bargain! Anyway he is asking for my phone number and going to let me know his bank details so that I can do a straight transfer. But I am waiting for a price for the mirrors as well.
Before I sent the question this morning I had a look at his feedback, only 1 from another member who also has 1. And they both joined up on exactly the same day last year and coincidently the fancy feedback from both parties is in exactly the same style.
Anyone else had prices for parts?

Its a scam! stay away.
Ok, been on the phone with this guy a few times this evening... He'd agreed with me £185 for mirrors, vents, centre console and rear view mirror. He rang me with No Caller ID by the way.
Although that price is an absolute steal, I said I can't commit to just putting £185 in a strangers bank account and suggesting paying a portion of that and him sending me the small parts - vents and RVM. We agreed on £40.
At this point I ask for a phone number and he is extremely hesitant to provide anything, and eventually agrees to inbox me one on eBay immediately. I am yet to receive a phone number, but I have received his bank details.
Also he had a huge preference for arranging a courier rather than cash on collection, and hates the use of PayPal because of "the time it takes for payments to be processed".
As much as I'd love to risk sending the £40 in the hope I receive the vents and RVM, to find out if he's genuine, I am afraid to say that I will be letting this one slip.
GL to whoever bites the bullet! I really hope he is just a clueless fool who genuinely doesn't like PayPal and doesn't have a clue how much the parts are worth!

Haha, he's impossibly implausible.Mirrors and vents for £250

£185 for mirrors, vents, rear view mirror, and full centre console.
But £250 for just the mirrors and vents?!?!
You have to have an incredible memory in order to be a great liar. This guy is/has neither.
Who is up next to ask him some questions?
I think someone should pose as a wealthy entrepreneur who wants to buy all of his cars, to start their own BMW museum.

Better still, one of you be a Nigerian Prince, looking to upgrade his royal fleet
If we have his bank details we can trace him back through the system.. Send them over and I can start having some fun..
Sort code search will tell you the branch.. Account details will reveal a bit more.. I am sure he will have an absolute fright if you say well I live just around the corner from your bank branch.. How about we meet and exchange the parts for the cash in xx xx lol.. Andy AKA @spurs fan in a coupe can help to totally take the car part lol.
