The Bad:
The car has a random misfire. I believe this is due to the timing being off. I have a new head gasket, vanos gasket, and head bolts which will go with the sale of the car. The AC was removed by the previous owner.
I’ve put a lot of hard work into this vehicle over the past 4 months. I’m to the point where I need a car I can daily drive right now. This is why I’m going to sell this. I really don’t have the time or resources to finish the repairs right now. I have receipts for the the parts that were replaced. The car can be driven, it just has a misfire. I don’t drive it, it just sits in my driveway taking up space.
how did u do the SS lines? i bought these for mine but there was no male to female threaded connection so i didnt even attempt to take them off. remember this benny?
There definitely is, I have SS lines on my car, they just get seized up. The bracket becomes part of the fitting when you assemble them correctly.
If you still have them and want to put them on I’ll give you a hand. I had trouble with my old M3 but that’s because I stripped them because they were so rusty and corroded.
The fronts bolted right up. The rears have an “S” shaped pipe which connects between the two lines. I have one of the old lines. I’ll take a pic of it in the morning to give you a better idea.
I’d like to keep it, but due to the current situation I’m in, I’m trying to get a quick sale. If I don’t see any real interest in it in the next few weeks, I’ll probably end up keeping it. I no longer have my 1 series, so I need a car to get to work and back. I was going to use the money I get from this for a down payment on a newer vehicle.
im on watervliet shaker road driving around the airport at like…4:35 ish everyday and i couldhave sworn i have seen you going the other way a few times there at that time.
