What to do with the parts car when you've stripped out the parts you want?
Make a driving simulator out of it, obviously!!
Anyway - step 1, fun with the Sawzall:
Step 2, reassemble in basement:
Step 3, connect steering column to force-feedback Playstation controller:
Step 4, play Gran Turismo!!!
Power seats, power window, cup holder. What more could you want?

Nice!
I like any badge that's in the shape of a circle.

Nope, I'm just a guy who likes working on BMWs. I'm a software engineer by trade.

the question becomes, is the TV the right distance away so you don't see the "dash or wheel" from the in car view?

I drive in full view mode. No dash or steering wheel in view. The speedometer and tach are in sort of a head up display.
