>>16346698

what's your opinion on replacing a higher model badge with a lower one?

was thinking about putting a 228i badge on an m240i so coworkers/boss won't judge me for spending so much on a car

Are the memes about these cars real? If I buy a used BMW will it shit out on me immediately and cost me several times more the price of the car on repairs? I think the aesthetics of BMW are unmatched but reliability is very important to me and I don't want a car that will break, especially not in an expensive fashion.

Changed my oil today and got it up on an alignment rack. Lucky for me, it really is just my trailing arm that's bent, and not my subframe or anything worse.
I'm going to order a new trailing arm and a new set of bushings and when I have a week off I'll drop the subframe and get it all set back up.

I plan for this to be a DD/AutoX type car. Should I get factory rubber bushings or splurge and get the 85A poly set from Garagistic? The poly bushings are also easier to install, but I still don't know if I can justify the $100 more than the rubber ones.
I'm just a poor kid.

>>16347079
It will ride rougher with poly bushings. If you are concerned with $100 you aren't going to be able to do much go fast stuff anyway so just stick with the rubber. Spend that money on good tires if you want to autocross it

I've been having an issue with my 2001 530i, maybe someone here can help.

Basically, the car doesn't start. I try to turn it on and absolutely nothing happens. A couple times when the problem first occurred and I was trying to start it, some lights on the dash did come on, the horn sounded like it was dying, and something was clicking, but the engine would not start. But now, there's no horn, no lights coming on, can't un/lock from the key button, no clicking sound, nothing. I can jump start it and it will work after some tries, but then after I turn it off, it will not.

I took it to an auto place and they told me it was the battery and gave me a new one. It was fine for a few days, but then the same thing happened, so my battery was never dead. Brought it back, they said they can't figure out what's wrong and gave it back to me.

I talked to a guy who runs a foreign auto and he told me the light that indicates stuff on the PRND may be draining it, but he can't take in any more cars until next Friday.

Do you think the foreign auto is right? Has anyone here experienced the same problem? Know what else could be wrong with it? I appreciate any help I can get.

>>16349638

>>16349638

Scan for codes and check your battery voltage. Weird stuff seems to happen when the voltage is low.

>>16346698
I don't own an ///M or BMW, but I respect the fuck out of them (Infiniti fag reporting in). As far as the ///M stripes go, I don't see anything wrong with it. As long as they didn't take a 328i and slap an M3 badge on it. But someone with the 3 color stripes on the grill or ///M sticker or decal might have parts and accessories from ///M division, or he is just a fan.

Are you aware of how much of a hypocrite you are making yourself? You hate against branding, then hate people who are de-branding their property.

It seems that nobody cares about branding more than you. Fuck off with your feminist logic.

I want to buy an e36 m3, it's my dream car. Literally my last purchase before I get into that married life. I found a manual one very cheap and the owner is an older lady that has had it since she bought it. I need to know what to look for, will have it inspected by a mechanic obviously. But in terms of maintenance, what should I be looking for and how much in terms of cost. The owner already told me the water pump will have to be replaced next and I'm sensing that the bushings do as well. Also, how detrimental is surface rust? I live in New England so it's a given that any 20 year old car is gonna have minor rusting. Is there a way to get rid of it and help protect the paint?

>>16349638
Sounds like you have a parasitic draw. Either a module not going to sleep or an internal short in a component most likely.

That actually proves the original battery was dead if the same thing happened to a new one a few days later. It's possible that in those few days, you've been driving around with a dying alternator and it hasn't been charging the battery very well.

>>16352111
I have manual cloth sport-seats in my m3, I was a bit skeptical at first and planned to switch over the leathers from my 330, but they're great. More surface friction so less moving around in the seat, doesn't burn my butt in summer and no frostbites in the winter. Feels good man.

I'm pretty sure I'm looking at last gen stuff (2003-2007) is in my price range.
I'm just trying to get a good idea of the cost of living with one and what the main differences between the models are (I'd prefer an sDrive35i but if there's no real performance upgrade from say an sdrive28 or the regular z4 3.0 I can live without it)

"S-Drive" at least in North America didn't come around until the second gen. Just means RWD. Either way you can't get 3.5 turbo in the e85 ('03-07). Best you can get is an M Roadster with an e46 M3 S54 engine, like me

Is it just this particular example a piece of shit or is the model itself shit?

Either way you are looking for an American e85 Z4. I have driven the 2.5i, 3.0i, 3.0si, and ///M which I own now. Honestly, I started at the bottom but couldn't find a good one a few years ago for 10k (2.5i) then stepped up to 3.0i, 3.0si, then said fuck it I'm buying an ///M and I don't regret it. You can get a 75k M Roadster for 18k or less. Buying any Z4, unless it is under 10k, is a BAD idea. Trust me.
>>16356904
You aren't getting a good 3.5is e89 for 15k. Period. Otherwise show me the link.

I said it was a bit out of my hard cash limit but within the amount I'm willing to loan for which means my max price is ~25k.

anyone here know how to extract broken subframe bolts?

I am looking at the IRWIN screw extractor kit but I'm afraid i'll break a hardened extractor in there and get completely fucked. Any tips bros?

>>16359872
Most EZ outs are going to be for RH thread bolts anyway so they won't work. I would tack weld another bolt to it.

>>16359997
Can't weld a bolt on it, Its too far in.

>>16360032
You're fucked man. Need to find a LH thread EZ out and an inductive heater to heat the shit out of just the bolt, then EZ out it while it stays hot. Don't worry too much about the extractor breaking, they are pretty brittle so you should be able to chisel it back out if it breaks.

I'm looking to buy used because I really like the m3 e46 and the m3 e30, the e46 for it's performance and the e30 for it's drop dead gorgeous styling. i've looked around enthusaists forums and seen good offers for both cars, even went to see two e30's and 1 e46. the problem is, i can't choose between the two. can /bmw/ weigh in it's knowledge?

Hpfp problems are thing of the past. The improved fuel pump has a 100k mile warranty. The old fuel pump was so shitty that if you see a running 335i today then its certain that its running on an improved fuel pump. Waste gate rattle is something that can be tuned out. Yes an ecu flashing can eliminate that mechanical noise. Check your service history and take it on a wild test drive before you purchase

Are you sure you found good prices for both? Just glancing at listings in the UK an E46 M3 is about $10k and an E30 M3 is about $40k. The two cars are barely comparable, the E30 is a very desirable homologation special, the E46 M3 is a boring commuter

Got new Pilot Super Sports mounted and balanced. The damn spare broke on the inside after a day on so I took off the wheels and brought them in haha.

For several months I've been meaning to test out my 20mm spacers on the rears. As you can see, they touch when settled. So... go safe with 10mms or attempt 15mms? Or just say fuck it, get a roll and put the 20mms on the rear and get 25mms on the front?

First pic is without it. The second has them on and settled.

>>16369632
Yeah after visiting hours there really isn't anyone up there. After 5 is a good time to go. I've never seen any police on the mountain, I suppose the Rangers take jurisdiction. But I've never seen them on the S6/S7.

/o/ has had a few meets there apparently. I've seen Subbies, Porsches, etc drive around in 2-3 car groups. Bikes like it too.

The corners are quite fun, but I wouldn't recommend high speed for most of it. The surface isn't particularly clean, and some shoulders just drop on the inside corners. Lots of blind corners. I don't know, it is a mountain. What is there to expect haha?

Just watch for the cow crossing grates and you don't have too much to worry about.

>>16369650
I need at least 10mm spacer to clear the strut with stock wheels. They wouldn't be so sunken with stock suspension. The top face of my wheel is under the lip so I'm not that worried about chipping.

Would painting the hood and trunklid black on an E24 look weird? Looks so good on 2002s and 3.0s but maybe it won't work on the E24 body lines. Going to paint the rest of the car with BASF Liquid Metal Silver (same as 918 Spyder), should look good but even then straight up silver always looks a bit bland to me. White is the best color for the car no question but I don't want to paint the jambs.

>>16370763
My thoughts exactly.
Nice lux slats!

Looking at some listings, and I can find 330Ci's in the 4000-6000 range in my area, but there's also a ZHP for 11.5k. Is the ZHP worth it if I'm just looking for a fun DD?

On one hand, that's more than I feel comfortable spending, but the ZHP package is basically what I'd end up putting on my E46 anyway, plus there's also the improved engine, and those parts+a non-ZHP will probably cost more than just buying the ZHP outright.

I've been told its pretty expensive once it shits on you. talk me into getting one. Preferably one that's a bit older like pic related. I like this very much.

I had an auto M3 in the past. The transmission died because, like many, the fluid was never changed because it was BMW Lifetime ATF.

If you want an auto, be sure it has been properly serviced. Other than that, they are good transmissions. I mean, it is a 90s auto transmission, so it isn't the fastest thing out there. Also, no 1st gear limit and "manual mode" only works in 2nd 3rd 4th... D doesn't count as 5th, it will just resume automation. And I honestly could not tell much of a difference between Sport and Economy mode.

>>16373298
The auto is great for highway cruising, but if you like to get to the core power of the car, you really need to get a manual.

At least in my area you can find both with relative ease. Autos are generally in better condition body wise because they just aren't that thrilling.

And if you want an M3 saloon you'll get extra street cred because there are less of them. Gangster style I guess. But I don't regret switching to a coupé.

>>16371473
It will look like shit. Painting the hood and trunklid of a car a different color than the body usually looks like shit. Very rarely does it work, even more rarely does it look as good as the whole car being one color.

E32 fampai, the wheels are nigged off my E60 530d and fit right in, the big 7 came with ugly steelies under her, so the E60 wheels will have to do till I can find (afford) some nice looking wheels for her. Been thinking about some neat deepdish wheels along the lines of ATS Classics or such, not gonna slav her like my old 7, but want to make her a bit more youthful in appearance.


Also, what could it be with my E34 530 that causes her to do fuckall bellow 2k rpm, the engine just sputters and runs extremely rough when you step it down.
Idles okay though. Gave her new spark plugs that slightly helped the situation.
Been thinking about checking the coil packs too.

>>16377844
the engine sputter could be a leak in a intake pipe

>>16378761
Maybe a wheel speed sensor kicked the bucket?

>>16373726
It's this actually a hydraulic engine mount? Or did you just mean hydro bushings? Cause they should be an easy fix.

>>16377844
Check error messages (intake or exhaust sensors), and if they don't tell you anything check the CCV.

>>16378778
>>16378835
No error messages on the display, will check the intake soon. It works normally when idling in park or neutral, sputters only when driving.
The right side of the intake does whine when you apply throttle, could be a leak.
Also Davis senpai, have you replaced your waterpump on your E60? Removed mine today after welding up the E34 a bit and realized that the waterpump was leaking like a jailbai at biebers concert.

>>16378812
The V8 mounts are hydraulic as far as I know, mine has lines going from the pump into them.

Got some sort of gas leak on my e90 325i. I can only smell fumes for like 20 minutes or so after running the car, so I doubt it's the tank, conventional logic would imply that if it were the tank itself I'd have constant fumes in my garage and visible dripping. Thinking (hoping) it's just a fucked fuel filter as that seems like an easy fix. Anyone have similar expiriences? Would appreciate any input.

A fuel line had a tiny puncture in my E32 750. Smelled horrible but never found a proper leak as the gas was dripping on to the exhaust and vaporized there

so far i've only replaced rear suspension bushings
but my car is leaking coolant and my engine is dirty so there is some sort of oil leak from the top, probably valve cover gasket
nothing major, not bad for a near 500k km car

>>16379328
interesting, ill have to look into that then, thanks!

I just sold my miata for this. it might not be what youre looking for but it's the whole driving experience in any BMW is different. It's so comfy while mentaining a sporty feel.

Not him but I think they are a BBS RS/LM hybrid rep. Like ESR SR01s or something. They all looks pretty much the same, slight differences between reps.

>>16380175

They're Work VS-XX. Far from being a shitty ESR rep. True 3pc wheels.

Nice, I knew they looked better than ESRs haha, sorry if you took that as insulting.

This is what I want. Found them in Forza and then saw they were on an art car.

Nice, do they come with matching ear gauges? At $150/wheel for some recycled Chinese cans turned into a hideous circular object I would hope they would throw those in for free.

I meant reading out the ECU. Usually your best clue comes from there.

>>16378903
>The V8 mounts are hydraulic as far as I know, mine has lines going from the pump into them

Jesus, ok that sounds error-prone. Replacing normal mounts isn't a big deal if you have access to a lift. Maybe it's just a matter of disconnecting the lines once you have them out.

Whats the big idea with zhps? It seems like a good way to piss away near m3 money in a meme package

So apparently the M240i has a different engine than the M2, a B58 instead of the N55. Which one sounds better? Do both use that awful fake speaker sound?

>>16381783

don't butcher it like you did to that amg

Okay, so.

M240i with Premium package = 55k CAD
M2 (comes with features in premium pack) = 63k CAD

Is it worth 8k more? Do proper M cars depreciate less than M sport cars do?

>>16386010
Yes and yes.

>>16385938
I added well over 200hp & torque to that AMG and put a set of Mickey Thompsons on it? That's pretty much it lol

Anyone else use one of these? Schwaben scan tool. Bought it off Turner a while ago but only just used it for the first time today.
It seemed like all the features it advertises weren't there, at least for my car.
I couldn't find in it where to reset the service interval, but it reset it for me anyway, so kind of doesn't matter, but a bit annoying if it does that every time I plug it in.

>>16388236
>Schwaben scan tool.
Not trying to be harsh but there is no reason for a bmw owner to get one of those standalone scanners.
Use a cheap inpa setup that cost you <$100 & an free hour for the adapters & old laptop. Works fine for me and I can see exactly what the ECU sees while being able to reset every light on my z3. Also saved me shit tons of time and cut through bullshit when dealing with people trying to sell classics with only the 20pin port.

>>16387837
You were pushing 700? Holy shit.
