Lord Ludikrous posted:I believe they’re S001s. I’d blame it on them being runflats but my 1 Series had Pirelli P Zeros and later Goodyear Asymmetric 3s and both were much better. I hated the S001s as well. Went from pilot super sports on a 328 to S001 on a 335 and it was mediocre. Also going with PS4 when the time comes. And yes, the 330 and M2 are miles apart. Even for a 335, I would really advocate for one with the M Sport package, the brake size is very noticeable. I feel like my dad's 335gt with the standard brakes is sub par at stopping. Regarding N55 vs B58, from a tuning perspective, the N55 readily makes more power with more air in, whereas the B58 really needs more air out, which means replacing the exhaust first.

Can I please also join the gently caress today club? Except the clown who smashed my e36 up was my own dumb rear end. Still not sure how I managed this, it was dark and I straight up didn't see the other car until my headlights lit up the side of it. It should have been completely impossible to miss that car coming since I was looking out for a car in that direction and was not distracted, so either I need to re-evaluate whether I even have eyes and have instead been operating on some kind of primitive echo-location all my life or the other driver didn't have his headlights on. He was 80 years old in a '17 Versa so it's possible but no way to know for sure. Went ahead and took my lumps since the fact of the matter is he had right of way. Really fucks up my confidence in driving, first accident I've had, but honestly I feel worst about my car, it's not much on paper but it's one of the few things that bring a smile to my face every morning and it sucks seeing it smashed up in possibly the most muppet-headed accident imaginable. I think I've mentioned in this thread over the years that I plan to keep it until I am a skeleton so it's definitely getting fixed. I think my best bet is to scour junkyards for another black 97-99 e36 and pull all the front end bits. eBay also has various knock-off parts, anyone have experience with the fitment on those? I'm leaning toward no (screw you ebay window regulator, I did not enjoy doing that job twice).

Yeah you can find a bunch of them for less than 20k if you don’t care about them having 100,000 on the clock. I’d be more worried about the accident history than the mileage myself.

A "bunch" is really overstating it. You can find a handful under $20k if you don't care about what you're getting at all, but all of those cars tend to be pretty suspicious beyond just the mileage. That BAT car actually seems to be way better than what you'd find at that price point, even considering the mileage and accident damage. You really need a $22-23k buy-in before you're serious about looking at M3s, and you're still kind of bottom fishing if you can't add several thousand on top of that for the right car.

Ok boys, quick take requested. I found an e92 335xi with huge sigh the N54, around 100k miles. Looking at the carfax...surprisingly the car doesn't appear to have had any major issues. Guy just had the water pump replaced, and the fuel injectors were done early on (as they should), and that's it. It has some extended warranty thru September of next year, but idk if I trust that. I'll have 3k left over budgeted for repairs. Is this a terrible decision and should I just wait for an N52 328xi to pop up instead so I don't have to deal with the N54 problems?

The carbon dash is really awesome though, and I agree, not having iDrive isn't a bad thing on this. The worst thing about used cars is old, clunky nav/entertainment screens. That is absolutely a 2011 $58k base model with zero options selected besides I was seriously pondering ordering an M3 sedan right at the end there in late 2010 and had the ordering email drafted and ready to go.  The car has a production date of 2010-04-09 (Sept) and the owner must have ordered it that way as no dealers would have stocked them that way. The iDrive/NAV from 2011 was good enough and would have been useful if it was installed, but if you want an "old-new school M3" with no frills here you go. The one owner thing is great too. It looks like the old preferred Vin lookup site (https://www.bimmerarchive.org/vin/bmw-vin-decoder.html) has gone commercial, meh. This free one sort of works: https://decoder.bvzine.com/ I am guessing the lack of options is scaring weak minded buyers off. What we are saying is go check the car out and get a PPI before someone else does.

Those plugs don't fall out on their own, and they're a pain to replace. So, if they're missing, I look to find out why. Also, looking at the pictures, the rear bumper looks like it may have been resprayed... None of these are necessarily deal breakers, but things to investigate when looking at a $20k 10 year old car with 125k miles.

There are fairly good (probably great now, since it's been years since I've owned one) drop-in replacements for the nav screen in E9xs that will give you a touch screen, a modern interface, and still work with the iDrive/steering wheel controls. Without iDrive, there's not really anything you can do to have a modern infotainment system that still looks completely stock. About the only thing you miss out on having is Android Auto/CarPlay, but you're basically shoving an Android tablet into your dash so eh.

It would be a stripped, manual seats with speed cloth inserts, manual transmission, no iDrive "single hump" dash, no sunroof, no enhanced premium sound. Definitely not a ZCP because it doesn't have the adjustable dampers. Someone probably bought that with the intention of having a weekend track car. That thing is sitting because it is 100% a mileage thing. Fortunately these are really robust cars and will probably go down as one of the easier and more durable generation BMWs as long as preventative things like rod bearings are replaced. The transmissions are strong, even in DCT form, the chassis doesn't divorce itself from the subframes, the engine has shown to last really long (when service intervals are followed). Occasional throttle actuators crapping themselves out are now cheaper to replace and a DIY. The suspension is reasonably durable and will need replacement eventually like other BMWs. The cooling system and interior fitment/durability is lightyears ahead of the previous generation. This particular car should be bought, money should be budgeted for a rod bearing replacement if not done already, check brake life as well. If not done that will be a  kind of payout. With those two things done drive the balls off of it. That engine bay and interior are not what you typically expect to find in a car with 120k+ miles unless someone loved that car.
