Up for sale is my beautiful* 400R front bar off my 33.

I'm regretting not fixing this front bar myself and keeping it, as i just purchased a new 400R bar (for cheap - thats why i got it in the first place) and i've had nothing but problems with it. It didn't fit, and the mould wasn't right so extra fiberglass had to be done to it, and it even had to be repaired as it had deep scratches. My dad spent 7 days straight fixing the new bar.

Anyway.. back to the bar for sale.

This is what the bar looked like before i took it off:

As you can see, it doesn't look too bad when its cleaned up.

This is what it looks like as of 5 minutes ago.

I've taken photos of most of the major damage/cracks as you can see. If you are willing to spend the time and effort, this could be easily fixed and made to look like new for pretty cheap. I regret not doing this myself.

Fix it up, spray it, and you are set.

Or keep it how it is for that drift spec look! :P

I might be able to find the orange indicators somewhere if you want them.

PM/Post here with any further questions.

    • Hello Liam - HA - somewhere in flies - possibly I have an update, but I have been so busy, projects have taken a back seat to getting business back on track.  I will let you know the outcome, but I think I am going to go for the 8HP,  CHEERS.  ELVIS
    • Thanks Joshuaho96, yes - as someone else also suggested, the 8HP seems the 'smart choice' - HA - and ZERO to do with cost, but I am sure 8 speeds will be better than 6 speeds - HA - maybe.  I will purchase a new 8HP,  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Nobody said anything about getting a "...cheap Falcon box..."- it was JUST a question about a specific transmission.  And YOU may have a problem with not enough $ - HA - I do NOT - so please keep your comments like you are some financial guru to yourself.  BUT - much appreciated re the cost of a new 8HP and I twill probably be the way I go.  Thanks.  ELVIS.
    • Most people I know in the BMW world are swapping 6HPs for 8HPs. The 6HP has a big issue with one of the clutch drum bushings wearing out shockingly early which leads to them going into limp mode going into 5th/6th gear as the oil pressure loss from the worn bushing causes clutch slip. Even with the adaptations in shifting the TCU can't bump line pressure enough to keep the clutches from slipping and burning. I've personally looked at a 335d with 6HP28 with one owner and ~90k miles on it and the transmission adaptations were way out of spec and even though it nominally drove ok I'm confident it would have needed a full rebuild sooner than later. Other than that they're fine, but the 8HP doesn't really have weird issues like this to my knowledge and they're in everything these days so pulling them out of crashed cars isn't too hard.
    • There is an ABS pump and a few solenoids. You could trigger the front/rear solenoids with a pressure bleeder attached with a Consult 2.
