OWLS! posted:Problematic on BMWs? (You can pry my AWD cars from my cold, dead hands) Not any worse than any other AWD system, as long as you avoid early BMW AWD, but it's another major expensive wear component that likely has never been maintained ala early 2000's $300 craigslist luxury car. However wagon + awd indicates Mom Owned so at least it may not have been beaten to total poo poo by the PO.

The e46 AWD powertrain is pretty bulletproof and simple (but not as good as audi, subaru, etc). Front CV axles probably the main weak point, especially if you lower it. My biggest worry would be rust. If you have a 3k budget, that would be a bad idea. If you have 2k to put aside on top of that for all the usual BMW poo poo and can DIY, it's a decent price for an e46 5spd wagon.

Good lord. The second generation Impulse is probably the better car, but who gives a poo poo because Giugiaro. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251806388029?rmvSB=true http://www.hemmings.com/hsx/stories/2014/07/01/hmn_feature1.html

Your brain injury precludes you from driving a manual trans, but you are still fine to handle rush hour traffic, as long as you don't have to shift gears.

It's amazing how many stupid excuses people have for "I tried owning a manual car and didn't like it so now I'm selling it." I wonder how much his "brain injury" played into him being t boned.

https://up.craigslist.org/cto/4862883391.html This guy is my hero. Giant snowblower grafted to the front of an old XJ with an sbc swap. No loss on the sbc swap even if it was poorly done, it is an 86 down XJ and had a garbage 2.8 v6 or a 2.5 4cyl from the factory. Would screenshot, but I am on my phone and don't want to make you guys suffer.

I had a guy come into my gas station and tell me he couldn't remember his PIN because of brain damage. He was paying for gas, for his car, which he drove. How damaged does your brain have to be before they take away your license?

How damaged does your brain have to be before they take away your license? You might not know this, but the brain has several different regions in it, and it's possible that he has a brain injury that affects his ability to remember some facts (like his PIN number) but lets him drive perfectly well. This is a good article to read]; it's pretty amazing how many different ways the brain has to store different kinds of things. It's perfectly possible even to be able to remember how you put your PIN in by moving your fingers, but not what it actually is, so you have trouble if the pad's layout is changed or something.

CornHolio posted:A friend just posted this on Facebook: It needs DSMlink which isn't too bad, but it is FWD, which is bad. FWD DSMs with any decent power (even at the upper limits of a 14b) will need some level of LSD up front or it'll be useless until the top of third gear. Also there's no mention of a rebuilt engine or transmission, so who knows how long a modded 4G63 in a 20 year old car will last. That is one of my favorite colors for 2Gs, but it always worries me when someone dumps many several thousands of dollars into body modifications and doesn't touch the engine mechanicals at all.

Also there's no mention of a rebuilt engine or transmission, so who knows how long a modded 4G63 in a 20 year old car will last. It's got a 14B on it. It's not like the engine is stressed at all, considering it probably makes all of 230-240WHP. The new paint is the only thing of value on the car really, most of the other stuff is basic/cheap rear end dsm owner forum reading garbo. Expect to spend another 600 bucks for V3 DSMLink/ECMLink (2 sucks vs 3). Also unless he includes the stock down pipe or you have a lenient inspection station, you'll be hosed on inspection, so expect to buy another cat + have that welded on. The seats are probably pretty worn down at this point, and 2G seats have always sucked, so keep that in mind. Also it has a talon rear end. Eugh. That being said, if you want to make a highway queen, your chariot awaits.
