Yup, nothing says M3 Touring more than the sound of a 4-cyl oil burner. Don’t get me wrong, 320d is a good all round car, but it’s no M3! Plenty of cars that are a long way closer - M340i Tourings are phenomenal.

Yeah, 40th Anniversary of Knight Rider this weekend

What are the odds... Hoff convention this weekend??

E46 M3 Vert and 992 squaring off at the lights today

Yes, this one looks pretty tidy..

Not the best news from the mechanic. Compression test shows low numbers on #2 cylinder and a leak down check shows its not from the top end. He thinks because the engine was so sooty, that it could be coked up piston rings that aren't spreading freely. He said if it was his, he'd be replacing the motor. Couple of options. 1)have them investigate further, head off etc and see what the issue is. This will take me further down the rabbit hole with no garunteed fix. 2)have them source a 2nd hand engine and replace it. This'll be very costly I'd imagine but the quickest. 3)i source and swap the engine myself. The cheapest but most time spent. And I worry that its something electrical and the car still doesn't start 😅 Anyone have a N47D20 lying about?
