Just curious what they are worth. I've got a full set (4) one has never been mounted. They're in great shape, but I am going to unload them. I was thinking around $200? Is that what they're going for now?

 

[mottati]

I'm not sure what the market value is but i'd give you $200 for a full set. I am trying to put together a really nice set for my car, a couple of mine are good, a couple have seen better days. You can pm me, i'm interested.

i'm intested too. do they include the spacer part?

 

[stominovich]

I am interested as well. Will pay shipping!:hihi:

 

[davidoli]

That seems to answer that question ............. $200 definitely seems appealing !

D

 

[AtlantaDan]

I'm not sure what the "spacer part" is, but they do have the fins on the backside to suck in the air.

i had considered selling mine and had a few offers around 200 as well, but i decided to keep them

The full set of spacers / cooling fins are NLA and that must have an affect on values .

I recently sold a full set of cooling fins to a respected member of this forum who has an extremely tidy , low mileage , 3.6 and could only buy the Turbine covers from BMW , but not the cooling fins .......... for some , unknown and illogical , reason I felt a desire to help him return his beautiful M5 to it's original condition !

I must be going soft ..........

Wonder is that the same friend of mine with a very tidy low mile M5? He also *****ed the stars to go Original turbines.

 

[mottati]

i just want the outer covers, i'd take the whole thing, but if someone wants the inner fins, i'd split them up. I have a full set of turbines on my car, i just would like to replace a couple of beaten up covers.

Keep us posted Dan! (i was first ....)

Soft right, the fins you had agreed to sell to me, or swap and cash, that you sold before i got over to your!

 

[stominovich]

I want them....

And it was much appreciated David............A true gentleman and friend of the M5 board is our davidoli.

To put the pricing in to perspective, I paid £700 for 4 Turbine covers and the plastic centres from a BMW main dealer. That did not include the inner cooling fins which has already been mentioned are NLA. That is roughly $1050 not including the inner fins.

If they are in good condition $200 is a very good price.

 

[davidoli]

It was your dulcet Irish tones that did it Bayerische ....... reminded me of my old Grandad !

p.s. The pleasure was all mine !

 

[stominovich]

Paging Atlanta Dan....

Are the turbines still for sale? :1:

 

[Phlem5]

Toby, I've got a full set in sitting in a shipping container at work, if you're interested I'll dig them out and send you some pic's ?

- Looking through Alan's thread with link to BM Classic gallery certainly gets you all dewy eyed for a set of turbines ! takes me back to Autocar spy shots circa 1988.

 

[davidoli]

Thanks Phil .......... If you were to sell these to Toby , it would certainly help me to feel less guilty !

Hi Phlem5

If you could that would be great. If you could send them to [email protected] that would be great. Do they come with the spacers?

Thanks

David, no need to feel guilty. I did take my time to pop by to collect the seats.

Personally, I could never understand why people took them off the 3.6 cars and replaced them with the more common Throwing stars. To me Turbines on a 3.6 is the ultimate in uber cool. Glad to see they are making a revival.

Yep they're full set inc (ultra rare, gold dust it would seem ) spacers IIRC. Give us a few days to confirm.

Bayerische I agree the orginal M system 1 look is unbeatable imo.
