Anyone know the cost of a new shell for a 07 R56 MCS?

KOOPA BOY · Jun 25th, 2008, 01:48 PM

My god

What have you done ???
It gonna be ££££'s

Ant FR · Jun 25th, 2008, 02:23 PM

depends on the supply of em i suppose. but you're going to be looking probably about 4k

Give BMW a call, the part number is 41002755929

Probably best off trying to track down a flood damage car though

Richard Crofts · Jun 25th, 2008, 02:28 PM

They sell cheap, 4k ish for some in great knick as Cat D engine damage ... plus you can sell the spare bits you strip, probably cover over 50% of the costs of the total car with the parts sales I should think

In that case a light cat D crash car or a flooded one is the best option as it gives you some spares and some stuff to use as exchange on performance bits, and also cheaper than a new shell, thats likely to get dinged anyhow

Not quite crashed it just yet. Haven't even ordered it yet.

Wondering so we can decide whether to get a damaged one and put it all into a new shell or just order a brand new S. Will prob need a spare one so we can get the car back out and get the old one on the jig.
