Thoughts? A lot of miles but body/interior look clean as hell and you could eat off that engine block (and yes I know they steam cleaned it, but still). Carfax looks fine.

>>16219428
Kinda overpriced tho for the mileage and you'll have to put some money aside for maintenance when something fails but i would offer less for it if i were you

>>16219428
>https://www.carsforsale.com/vehicle/details/18716314
the steering wheel and driver seat look all worn and the paint job looks like it would only be good in photos, it has some cool wheels but thats it, it's one major failure away from being a huge 5000 dollar mistake.

How is she running /bmwg/?

My GF bought a 2000 E46 coupe yesterday with the old reliable M43 4 cyl engine but today I was appalled when I realized that there is no dipstick?
What the actual fuck why would anyone remove it?

>>16222157
Just a heads up from someone who dealt with the m43 enough: all gaskets are your enemies, especially the timing chain cover gaskets and head gasket. Other than that, good reliable choice when maintained correctly.
Also: check the rubber piping from the airflow sensor to the intake manifold, they always crack at the bending and suck in air.

I have posted this before but I'm in for a new car next summer and I can't decide between e46 m3 and evo9.
E92 m3 would be nice but its 10k more and I don't want to spend that much on a car.
I have yet to test drive them but what do you lads think?
You can get so easy power out of evo for so little money it is tempting, m3 needs an sc. €€€.

All good so far, need to tackle some rust on the arches next year but engine / gearbox / clutch all working perfectly at 145k

Think I will replace it with an E39 if I can find a good manual one when this one breaks

Mine is doing great at 146k. Never giving this car up...I'll do a motor swap if I have to

There's a nice manual E36 being sold near me for less than $2k.

I need a car to commute about 20 minutes one way and probably about an hour back with some stop and go traffic. It has 220k miles.

Should I look further into it?

My e46 320i is bucking back and forth violently if i even dare look at the clutch wrong when moving from a standstill or when i put the pedal down a bit too quickly and making clunking noises from the rear. It's as if some mount has gone but i dont know if it's the engine mounts, transmission mounts, or diff/subframe mounts. it's as if some rubber component is being stretched out and released when it happens. also, it's not the subframe being in tatters as I've checked it out and it looks good. Here's a pic of the car the day after I bought it.

BBS makes them. I can't remember the model num

>>16222302
Personally I wouldn't know because I have an e46 but still, any car of that age the milage takes its toll on every single rubber component on the car. you'd have to wait for a reply from someone else on this thread. I have been advised to stay away from an e36 with 200,000+ KMs on it before however

>>16222308

Ah ok, well thanks for your input. I have a real life friend that is a 'BMW enthusiast' I guess that has been maintaining his own E30 for a while. When he saw this ad he showed it to me and has been lightly pushing me towards it. This is also convenient for me because the seller is within walking distance basically, and I wouldn't have to drive 30+ minutes to look at it. Of course that doesn't matter though if it just shits itself right when I get it.

>>16222235

That is really nice, never seen a facelift one with amber indicators. Suits it really well.

Thanks. I'm really happy with it. It's a blast to drive.
I also own an e46 (330i) and e90 (328i). The F22 (M235i) is actually about the same size as my e46. The F22 feels for me to be a perfect size, but then again I'm not a "big boy" and yeah, the rear seats are only for short distances or for children.

seems like the 540i needs a lot more steering input too, but that's fixed by going to an m5 steering box,which is another thing i need to do

>>16226475
M3s are abused, unreliable, slow if you have the US versions and expensive currently. The E46 is also hideous.

Oh I'm sorry, have we found out how to grow money on trees yet? Or was I confused, does being an enthusiast mean you have shitloads of money? Not everybody can afford an M, and not everybody wants to settle for a shitty abused overdriven ancient M car with 15 years of farts on the seat.

I've been looking into getting an e36 328oli for a first car. I can probably spend up to 5k and there is a few in my area. I can get for that price or cheaper. Is there a better alternative or things I should look out for?

>>16226621
Friend had a E46 M3, it was an electrical disaster. I had an E36 M3 and it was powerful but still very underpowered for what it should've been capable of.

Yeah people like to hate on US M3s because they go a fraction of a second slower to 60 while costing 2/3 the price and having 75-85% the horsepower. :)

I will give to the EUs that they have nice glass headlamps and foglamps that you don't have to rewire to not turn off when you put on the highs. But good luck with maintaining that engine!

>>16227117
>But good luck with maintaining that engine

Are they really that bad? I know parts are expensive (even in the UK where BMW parts are cheap) thanks to the M tax, but if the other BMW I6s are anything to go by it should be fairly reliable and easy to work on no?

The interior on these fits me so well I don't think I'll ever be able to drive another car. Everything is so perfect. I really don't know what I will replace my E36 with.
I gotta ask though: am I the only one who's thought of as an asshole on the roads? I've been thinking about it and I've never had an act of kindness happen to me.

EU M3's engines were produced far less and were much more complex. Parts are more expensive, repairs are more expensive. US M3's engines are great for FI.

Now don't get me wrong, I'd love a EU M3 too, but the US ones really don't deserve the hate they get. Really it is all just autistic spouting.

That one guy on YouTube with a GT (facelift in the UK), I don't watch his videos but every thumbnail I see it is him stating how it is a mess and he is going under the bank's foot or whatnot. Not sure if that is the common case, but US M3 engines have been very reliable, on the other hand. Be more concerned about the transmission, because it seems people don't want to take care of them.

I have the same feels as well with mine. I'll tend to do reckless moves when driving mine but sadly one of those reckless moves was the last one and the one that killed the chassis. To me an E36 is the easiest car to get comfy driving but sadly I have to move on. It was fun while it lasted but I'm thinking I'll defect to a Toyota for a while, I'll go back to an E36 if I can find a clean one that I won't abuse.
I'll miss that orange glow ;_;

I may rip the highways and backroads at times, but I am always courteous to let people merge and take turns and all that jazz. And then I am for sure straight in the neighbourhoods. Go the speed limit, stop at signs, etc.

Was snaking a new speedbump the other day though and then this guy tried to suicide in front of me with his three dogs yelling that I was the reason they were putting them in. Drove around the block and came back and talked to him when he was hopefully calmer. Soccer moms bust the roads at twice the speed limit in SUVs but I am going over a speedbump at 10 mph and I almost have to call the funeral home?

Just don't do shit near the populace and you are alright. People aren't always rational, though.

But yeah, if you have a loud car people seem to think you're going twice as fast as you are haha.

Since discussion has kinda moved to being treated like assholes, has anyone done anything to your cars in the parking lot or while parked? I came back from doing a coffee run and found my driver side mirror pushed forward.

Yeah, some cunt threw/spat half eaten plums on mine like a week ago and about a month ago I found a used tea bag on the back window and half eaten slice of bread on the hood. Asked the neighbours what the fuck was up and appearently some old hag who's completely fucked in the head throws garbage out the window Oddly enough, only I got the treatment and some Audi guy got collateral'd and also had a tea bag. It might be that I come from the North and live in the South currently.

As for m3s the e30 went way up in price, e36 were half-assed by bmw because they didn't think it would sell well in the us but great cars for how cheap you can get one for, e46 have hit rock bottom and are going to go up in value in the future and only a 5 hp difference with the euro version and the e92 and newer models are still too pricey for most people

>>16228028
If it sucks like a hooker when you remove the oil cap when the engine is running you need a new positive crank case ventilation valve (PCV)

If it smokes when left to idle you need new valve stem seals.

I have done both, neither is a nice job on the 4 cylinder engines.
Although mine wasn't drinking oil, just had the smoke thing and leaking oil from the bottom PCV hose.

Nice shipping containers. How do you choose which car to drive? One for every day of the working week? Sunday no driving? Are you shomer shabbos?

>>16229157
well i mean, e90 suspension mods are the thing
porsche is nice though
335i will be far more practical

>>16229260
please put on a trip, your opinions are valuable and i want to keep track of them

Actually I might have gotten the cleaning supplies too, I thought it was 1000.

Haha, it makes it sound worse than it is. The camber is natural to the coilovers, in fact the camber plates are untouched. Not street legal cause I just kissed my cats goodbye and I'm in the one state that is all fuckey. The dip is just to make the raw finished splitter match the rest of the ABS bits. And then I'm getting some tuning software to remove governor, increase limiter, etc.

But really, getting upset over something on here means you're pretty fucked. That guy must be trying to rack up his e-tokens and cash them in at the Channy Cheese.

>>16229272
Is the M-sport suspension any good or is it a gimmick?

>>16229457
Does that make the 335i comparable with a Cayman, friendo? Or is the 335i still soft?

Should i change my dd e60 545i to e34 M5?
M5 is mint condition.

>>16230343
if you have money for the repairs that are gonna pop up, yes. e34 m5s are so fucking sick

>>16230392
If i have to quess, M5 repairs are cheaper than 545i?

Ok boys, talk me out of this one. I've been seeing 850i's go for as low as 10-15k, and that's with the glorious v12 and 6 speed manual. It's giving me a fucking HARD boner because I love the conservative styling, popups, and pretty much everything about it.

I've heard that finding parts and maintainence can be a bitch though. Talk me down from this.

Also.
1. Is the autotragic on the E6x horrible? Will it break down every 50k?
2. Does that long wheelbase ruin the BMW experience?

Good when they work, but suffer from all the usual diesel issues. Turbos, injectors, dual mass flywheels / clutches depending on treatment, and DPFs are a fucking nightmare.

Just get a 330i. If you get even one of these issues you have wiped out your fuel savings, and get a much nicer engine. Diesels are good for cheap lease specials if you do loads of miles, not so much as a second hand ownership proposition

Finally registered after 8 months of engine swapping, interior swapping, fixing everything.
I knew an E28 was gonna be a boat but I wasn't quite prepared for the full boaty goodness.

>>16238471
nice! I've always wanted an E28. I recently had to swap my E39. MAJOR pain in the ass to remove it. glad its over now.

>>16227283
I have an 01 e39 auto. It's got 153k and the shift between 3 and 4 is getting super hard. Always revs low and short shifts even in sport mode. From stoplight to stoplight I rarely get out of second gear even if I want it to. Ultimately it's not good, I said earlier it won't make it to 200k and I stand by that statement.

this. all new cars look exactly the fucking same, i dont understand it. just do something different!!!

My dad has an e46 318 i believe, about 100k miles and its smoking pretty bad. He was debating wether to get a new engine or to just sell it and buy a different car. Which engines fit without many modifications?

>>16230080
>>16229157
i mean, the cayman is alright but its underpowered and no backseats. The 335i engine can take a FUCKLOAD of boost on stock internals. Suspension might be soft and the auto trans is slow though.

Well myt 545i had both main N62B44 faults, coolant pipe leak and valve stem seal.
Those only were 5k

i dont see why it would need a new gearbox and diff, the power difference isnt that big. I see how it might need new wiring and shit though.

Any car with 4 wheels that gets you from A to B is a good car.

Is BMW maintenance out of warranty (ie high milage) a meme or is it really that bad?

wondering about picking up a 335i with almost 100k on it

>>16242191

e39 m5 owner here. about to hit 108k. its definitely not great, so what you gotta do is if you buy one, obviously dont get one thats been in accidents, modded by some faggot kid, been driven in hard winters, etc. Also, helps if you can repair some things yourself. I've had to spend a few Gs on repairs I wasn't able to do, but honestly i dont even care because driving the car is so fucking awesome. if having to cough up some dough every once in awhile to drive my dream car is the price i have to pay, im more than fine with that. however, a lot of people would rather spend that money on other things. but because i dont have that many expenses, and besides my love for cars am extremely frugal, i dont give a fuck.

tl;dr if you love the car and can afford repairs every once in awhile, do it

>>16242191
a 335i wont make it to 100k without being well serviced and maintained.

What pipes did ya get?

Can the non-cancer people answer a question for me?

Is it worth getting a brand new M3 or buy a used one with a couple thousand KMs/Miles

>>16243309

Personally I would get a nearly new one and let someone else take the depreciation hit. I am not too fussy with options, so as long as it was roughly the spec I was after I would go for it.

I would only go for a new one if there were certain options / colour combinations you absolutely had to have that hardly anyone specced.

>>16243222
it's an M3
M3 always look great no matter what wheels

>>16243338

Yeah, I'm sure I can find the one with the right spec somewhere. We have a few big dealerships here in British Columbia.

Thanks for answering and not being an asshat cancerfag.

Anyone else is free to answer my question too.

At least some maintenance must have been done to it.

>>16243386
Hi gypsy

>>16243394

255k wouldn't put me off if the price was right, if it hasn't been overheated the engine is probably fine. I bet it has had loads of suspension bits to keep it on the road, and they aren't exactly expensive or hard.

Mine is on 170k and runs perfectly, I think it will be rust that kills it in the end thanks to the salt on the roads here

>>16243394
my e60 is at 480k km currently
replaced some bushings after buying it, now the car is almost flawless (aside from some interior wear)

>>16221457
>No rust
I'm going to stop you right there and tell you there is rust so that when you eventually find it tucked away under the exhaust heat shield that runs down the firewall near the transmission or in the inside of the seams where the fender liners meet the radiator support or in the HVAC intake or around the AC line entry to the cabin or in the trunk near the tail lights you won't be too sad.

>>16248859
ill help since these autistic middle aged cucks wont, theres a big difference in those body styles and at that pricepoint you can find a decent e46 theres no reason to look for a 36. Both burn oil though like most old bmws and I also assume that the 36 doesnt feel as comfy to drive.

Im in europe and i just discovered that apparently e46 and up are badly made for the US market, is that true? LMAO

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04gTnckMaeo

I wanted to meme this guy cuz I own an e46 in europe and ive had NONE of the problems he mentions. But then i read up on it and apparently americucks just get shit bmws?

>>16248859

2 litres as in the 1.9 4 pot pot? Or a 320i, which is a 2.2 I6?

The 4 cylinder engines in the E46 were pretty rubbish, the E36 ones were a lot more reliable. Can't go wrong with a 6 pot, just watch the cooling systems. Unless you are looking at something with the later M54 engine it should NOT use any oil at all.

As for 46 vs 36, both have rust issues so check that. Both great cars, I like my E46 as it is more comfortable and refined. A bit heavier so won't drive quite as well, but not much in it.

>>16249106

Just watched it, he is so full of shit. For context, I have a 1999 E46 323i in the UK on 168k miles. Original clutch, gearbox, and engine. Owned since 2009 and 70k miles.

To be fair he has a point with the cooling system - I replaced all of mine last year as the radiator was bowed. Total cost for everything supplied and fitted at a local garage was £360.

Why anyone would take an E46 to a main dealer is beyond me. That is just stupid. They are not difficult to work on, plenty room to work and everything seems logical.

Either the American ones are badly made, or that particular one has been abused / crashed. Easily the worst E46 I have ever seen. Cooling system aside I have experienced none of these issues, nor have I seen one in that condition

>>16249229
the interior was fucking TERRIBLE, how would it even get that bad? was it a fucking flood car or some shit? or just typical american maintenance?

>>16249245

I have no idea, think you might be right with the flood thing. Either that or the glue the use must be total shit if they are all like that. Either way, I have NEVER seen one in the UK with an interior like that.

Also did he say $700 for a window regulator? It is a £20 part. That is insane.

>>16249203
not him but looking for the same thing,

kinda sucks that. The 6 pot seems awfully thirsty.

" Fuel consumption (economy) - urban 12.2 l/100 km.
Fuel consumption (economy) - extra urban 6.9 l/100 km.
Fuel consumption (economy) - combined 8.9 l/100 km. "

seems kinda optimistic

Also what's the max mileage you lot would be comfortable with buying? Petrol of course.

>>16249290
the 4cyl petrol engines consume almost the same fuel as 6cyls
source: i`ve owned 3 4cyl bmws
also mileage is not as important as the cars actual condition, since you`re looking at old e46's

>>16249290

There isn't much of a difference to be honest, mine gets mid to low 30 mpg which is pretty much the same as my old 1.8 Mondeo got. Seen as high as 40 on a run, obviously it takes a hit when you do a lot of urban driving or hammer it. All 6cyl engines get the same economy.

Biggest issues are cooling system and rust, if both of these are fine then I would just go on the condition of the car itself. Engines and gearboxes don't give problems if serviced on time. Think the automatics can give issues, but don't know much about them. Maybe someone more knowledgeable than me could chime in on that

>>16243618
yes it does, even an M7x V12 fits in there if you have mad fab skills.

>>16249290

My personal experience is
>m52tub20 - 9.0/100km combined
>s54b32 - 9.2/100km combined

I guess the m52 is a bit on the thirsty side, and the s54 is relatively effective.

honestly with all the talk about rust issues and generally old car problems i think ill look into swapping an e46 or some shit.

>>16249377
you mean an E46 engine (M54)? that is a common swap nowadays, because of the simplicity and reliability of the engine. Swap is very easy, there is tons of information on it online.
If you live in commiefornia getting it to pass smog legal would be a royal PITA, but not impossible.

>>16249385
nah, I meant swapping a v8 into the e46 chassis

>>16226475
Regardless of this being bait, 335i, M240is and so on are great. Nobody is impressed by your $5000 E36 M3

>>16249427
its just as easy to drop in a v8 into an e30 as it is an e46. BMWs have huge engine bays so there is a lot of room for modifications.

>>16249438
this.
E90 335is are actually better cars than their M3 counterparts.

>>16249445
That isnt true at all desu, the 335i is good and all specially for making power with a big turbo conversion but the chassis, suspension, transmission and overall options dont even compare to the e90 m3.

Also thinking of getting a 335i, but most have paddle shifters, anyone know how good they are? responsiveness etc

Hello /o/ I have a problem with my e39 525d
When I start to accelerate the car lose power sometimes at 3000 and sometimes at 4000 rpm. It is similar to rev limiter on petrol engines. It's like the fuel is cut for a split second and then it is supplied again. And the car refuse to rev more.
Some people said it is the inline pump and some said it is the camshaft/crankshaft sensor. Which one is /o/?

Fuel Pressure Regulator/Fuel Filters.

Unsure on the 525d, but E39's 2 Fuel Filters also contain the Fuel Pressure Regulator, replace the filters.

My track pipe was supposed to arrive today, but apparently there was an exception, probably the wind storms or holiday traffic.

What a tease, at least they are doing Saturday delivery.

should i get a low mileage (less than 100k miles) v12 e38?

if i get one, how much should be set aside per year for repairs and maintenance outside of fluid changes and tires?

>>16258565

I am pretty sure they are reliable like the rest of the E38 range, main issues are the automatic gearbox (make sure the fluid is changed and budget for potential replacement) and the fuel tanks rusting.

If so, make sure you tighten the bolts holding the oil pump together.
Did a m73 (200k kms) rebuild some years ago and found six loose screws in the oil pan, afaik it's more common than it should be.

>>16257372
2 Fuel filters, what?
I've replaced the one next to the engine before 1000 miles, where is the second?

>>16258687
Nevermind, thought E39s had 2 fuel filters. I'm using an E34 as reference, and the 2 fuel filters are right next to eachother.

>>16253715
I got 09F6, 1250 and 1260 all of them are related to the fuel pump. I guess I will replace the inline first and check if the car is better

Yestarday without changing anything the car refused to start like there is no fuel.

So having taken off my stock midpipe, I noticed there was no pre-cat O2 sensor like there is supposed to be... But the OBDII post-cat sensors were there.

Turns out they were moved up to the headers in OBDII. The more you know.

318i?

>>16264090
It's very impressive. Comfortable, handles well and it's very, very easy to go fast. You seem to get an almighty burst of power when you put it into 4th. If it's slightly damp though, there's very little traction. It's definitely going to kill me.

Looks like it could be your answer then, or the relay feeding it.

Apparently giving a dying pump a tap can unstick it temporally so you could try that.

Currently drive an e46 325i as my daily, with 112k on the clock and an accident history, and is leaking oil and fuel. I'm guessing I'll put another $2,000 into it over the next 20k miles despite doing the work myself.

I'm looking at this e30 325i with 88k, and no accidents.

Obviously a thorough look over is in order, but it's a clean car.

Problem is the guy wants $4,500.

Wat do??

>>16266190
If you have money why not prices of these will just go up over time

Buy it? That's a fair price for an E30 325i in good shape. You WILL NOT find a nice one for under $4,000 these days. You WILL NOT find one that isn't a complete piece of shit for under $3,000.

My commute is about to get a lot smaller so I won't be putting 15k miles a year on it like I would now.

This is my current daily, she drives great and I love her to death, but she is starting to have issues and at 112k miles it's only gonna get worse.
