Help!!!!!!!!!

I have a 1994 bmw 530I with a manual transmision. The timing belt sliped in my engine and now the engine is dead. I really dont see putting anymore money into this car. Do you think it is worth selling as dead or parting out. Please help. thanks JOHN

You'd probably do better parting it out. You could swing more for just the transmission than the entire dead car whole. After youre done parting out (if that's the route you take), I'd like to buy the shell and whatevers left. Lookig for something to put my M70 into; custom E34 550i? Hell yea!
