I have driver assistance with the camera but I don't have adaptive cruise control with stop and go, which I know adds more functionality.

chic-fil-a trip report: regular chicken is slightly below Popeye's standard, but the spicy is better (plenty of flavor, but not "brown ring of fire" hot.) waffle fries were on point. That general part of Bellevue would have been too much of a poo poo show for a meet today.

BraveUlysses posted:12-15k in the PNW, which is insane IMO. That's cheapish m3 territory but I want a sedan. That's true, but it's also kind of misleading. $14-15k is really bottom of the barrel territory for e46 M3s (at least around here), but $10-11k is enough to find a low-ish mileage 330 in really good shape with a very solid maintenance history. You're not going to find an M3 for anywhere near that price unless you're really willing to compromise on condition and maintenance.

Alarbus posted:The catch is, even if you do trade it in, if you get something new, it won't be as luxury/sport as this, and if you get something used, you're picking up someone else's maintenance debt (again). Yeah, I can't really get excited about an underpowered Jeep Compass with cloth seats and 20k miles on it at this point, and that was about the best thing I could afford right now. I will keep my Bimmer and start turning some wrenches on stuff I can do and space out the stuff I can't.

I posted a while back about my M54 burning oil after changing all the CCV stuff. It was burning a quart every 350 miles and now that's down to about every 1000 miles. I have a clue I'm hoping somebody can help me understand: Sometimes when I check the oil level it is extremely high. This is often after the car has sat overnight. This is happened even after a very recent oil change, so I know the level isn't actually too high. Cleaning the oil off and rechecking shows a normal level. So I'm guessing that what is happening is that oil is being held in the CCV system and dumped back down into the dipstick tube all at once, but vacuum doesn't allow that oil to drop down into the crankcase until I've removed the dipstick. Does that sound plausible? Why would it be happening if so? Edit: 1000 miles, not 100! barakus fucked around with this message at 16:41 on Apr 10, 2015 |

coolmancraig posted:$4000. I wasn't going to hardball him given its in pretty good nick. Not sure on the wheels, I'll have a look tomorrow. I much prefer the basketweaves too so I might do something similar. That's a ridiculously good price! You going to fix the clunk and wrench it yourself? Even with busted front suspension the E34 is still a smooth ride. How does it work in WA, do you have to have a RWC when transferring over (like Vic) or just pay a transfer fee (like here in NSW)?

This goes for any car, even ones that don't recirculate CCV fumes back down the dipstick tube, because the crankshaft is always slinging oil around and it gets on the dipstick.

Also these motors should only be checked at operating temperature, after five minutes of sitting. It's what the owner's manual says, and my anecdotal evidence would agree that if you check it cold, you're going to read quite a bit low.

It's driving me a little bit crazy. No smoke, no drips, and it used about a quart every 3500 miles before I replaced the CCV as preventative maintenance. I'm probably going to replace the CCV once again this coming summer, but I'm getting annoyed at throwing the same parts at the same problem on and on, eternally.

My E30 was an airbag car and I had cluster removal down to about five minutes by the end there. I think my car was well over 300k judging by the mileage on the cluster and the amount of years that it was reported on carfax with the same mileage.

No RWCs, which is great news ever after living in Victoria, though there are a few real shitheaps on the road as a result. Buyer and seller just fill out and sign a form and lodge their halves with the Department of Transport, and the DoT sends the buyer a bill for all the fees. They also have fractional registration over here, so you can pay for 3, 6, or 12 months at a time. Only downer here is that *all* trailers have to be registered - You can't buy a 6x5 box trailer and just slap a copy of your car's number plate on it like you can in Melbourne.

Im on my cell tho at a buddies house but I have a feeling the answer is there.

What was really a minor accident today blew both front airbags, shattered the windows/windshield and some minor front end stuff it looked like. Haven't even gotten the title in the mail yet. Ah well, worst case I'll be on the hunt for another BMW, the short time I've had this one has sold me big time.

I've turned practically every nut and bolt on my e30 and commodore so I'm confident I can wrench on this sucka. Plus suspension work is pretty easy! I just drove it to the shops and it didn't seem to want to get out of 2nd or 3rd gear (doing 60km/h) - on the way home it was fine. Looks like I need to do that valve body sooner rather than later. Or let it die a slow death and look for a manual trans to swap in. Decisions.... Other than that it's all sweet, no rust, all electrics work and the engine is smooth as butter. And what metaxus said... my e30 shouldn't have been allowed on the road when I bought it. As long as you keep the rego paid theres no inspections or anything which is good and bad.
