Check the ignition system for gremlins. How old are the plugs? Gapped correctly?

>>17067685
The fouling looks kinda thick.
Mabey too rich, rather than lean?

that's a groce plug mate

I sure hope it's old as fuck. Either you're running way dirty or the ignition system can't get a spark through it.

Judging by the picture, stupid women.

Looks like something a millenial would be into because its a good way to virute signal to everyone that you drive an electric vehicle. Perhaps you could rive it to the Rally for Science to protest the DRUMPF global warming agneda.

Stop letting "asylum seekers" get away with rape with the defense of "I have ADHD"

What do you suggest instead?

>>17067459
You gotta haggle for a lower price, check the title before you buy for authenticity.

I'm too scared
I don't want to offend
I'm a very small guy

I'd get the E39. I had a 530 for years and spent approximately zero dollars on maintenance. It's gotta be way cheaper than a 2-year-old SS.

>>17067438
For the E39 pushing 100k miles is when a lot of things start needing to be replaced. If you do ALL the work yourself 1.5k/yr is tad generous. I love my BMWs, but you will need a 2nd car to drive, if something is wrong on the BMW, fix it asap. Things too look out depend on the previous owner, but look for timing belt, water pump. Also expect a lot of non-mechanical issues, sunroof not opening, dead pixels in the dash ECT.

What year is the bmw?

>>17067483
I'd be looking for an 01-02. I prefer the refreshed styling, but don't want the M front bumper.
How much might maintenance be if labor was paid for?
I'm not that concerned about downtime as there is a bus line that goes straight from my house to my work.

Does that actually happen naturally to paint in Arizona? Is it that hot there?

>>17067420
Average in summer is about 110-ish here. Happens to a lot of toyotas too. They just bleach or bubble like crazy. Doesn't help the car is all black inside and out too.

>>17067420
that's just years of paint abuse and not waxing

Bad Cruise Control Check Valve. Pic related

all of the hoses under the hood are connected and good, and my cruise control works fine still. With that known, could it still be this valve? Thanks

>>17067376
>posts common problem that the solution has been known for decades. DECADES.
>gets told solution without histrionics
>all this other stuff works so it can't be that. Didn't think about that did you?

OK fine. It's literally anything else. Go knock yourself out.

You mean rice burners? No, that was a derogatory term for what began as a relatively questionable and inferior product.

>>17067237
No, they were actually fast. Civics and Toyobarus are slower than Minivans.

Whether or not it was/is the best is debatable, the point is that they didn't skimp on materials and craftsmanship.
If its leather, use good leather.
If its wood, use real wood.
None of the plastic with stickers on it crap.

British autism with handcrafting gave them an advantage with mechanical parts before WW2 and unparalleled luxury with materials. Post ww2, advances in mass manufacturing and suspension/engine improvements everyone learned about in the war leveled the playing field so much that Rolls Royce are almost meme tier. Another problem with hand built cars is that no two are alike. Might be cool, until you need repairs or to restore it. A 50's V8 Cadillac offers much of what a 50's Rolls can with more power and ease of maintenance. Modern rolls had to steal French hydropneumatic suspension to stay relevant and needed help from BMW. They are still fine pieces of machinery. Reviewers have said they're so comfortable it's too boring.

>>17067055
This. It's the same deal with firearms. High-end handmade British guns are sublime, but you have to send the whole thing back to the factory if a part needs replacing because the part has to be built to fit the gun.

Meanwhile, Italian and American companies build guns that are pretty much just as nice to shoot and can be serviced locally.

see this nigger right here?
Yeah, a Ford Scorpio Hatchback, with the 2.9l V6. Not too much, but to me it meant the world

I was... 9 years i think. My family was on a winter holiday. And one evening, mom gets sick. She stays in bed, whatever.

That night, she got a heart attack. Dad throws her, me and my sister in the car, and does the 75km (just over 45 miles) to hospital in under half an hour.

Mom was okay in the end, and dad chuckled to himself about that "damned old ford"

Cool story cunt.
Can you tell it again?
Do you have time?

>>17065780
I dont think you can do worse than an Avenger. Unless you go full on communist. My mom had one of those for a rental and that thing was so dull and horrible. It looks like shit on the outside and the interior looks like something that should be in a box truck.

>>17065797
