Two paragraphs of I hate BMW they are no good. As an Auto electrician and someone who has tuned and built engines, I dont really see where you are coming from. Yes the N46 is a troublesome engine, but I repeat if you had done your research and bought an N52 car you wouldn't have these problems, that said you probably got the car dirt cheap. You keep saying how poor BMWs are, but you give no examples, I worked on cars for years, where's the lack of basic engineering? Go and buy a Toyota, lots of hard grey plastic, questionable styling and no driver involvement. Oh and throw in a lack of safety features, slow engines and abominable auto gearbox's, as well. That sounds like your happy place. Honestly coming to a BMW enthusiasts site and then slagging off BMW's as a whole, what the hell are you even doing here, apart from being a Troll. We all know the ins and outs, the risks and the rewards, you go and buy that old Legnum, sleep happy and dont think about nasty BMW's.

I thought dragon sports were decent for the price. They are average when compared to the premium sport or touring tyre but ahead of the average Chinese stuff.

😂😂😂 omg Please share details of said awards

Very few NZ New F11 535i's. You might have more luck with a 530d, there were a few around for low 20's earlier this year

Possible. Bad strut mounts or something loose could cause it. Popping the strut cap and check the nut is tight would be the first step. Giving the end links another crank cant hurt. 2 people should be able to do a good check with one moving the shaking the steering wheel when needed and one under the car looking and feeling for play. Prybar is useful too.

@HerbmiesterI think they are the replacement for the Dragon Sport (which were a bit average…)

Pedals like those with no rubbers are bloody dangerous in certain conditions.

Sway bar bolt hole is typically larger than the link bolt but shouldn't be by much ~1mm. They do have fairly high torque value so shouldn't move if tightened correctly. Have you done any other front end work? or what been replaced? Manually checked\felt for any play in bushings, ball joints, steering joints\bushings etc when wheels off the ground and\or loaded?

"Accelerates, drives and stops as it should" - excellent, PPI done.

Engineering tour de forces right there. But did you really have to photograph them from the front??

Stop wasting your time and go buy a Corolla or something then. No one cares about your whinging.

Also converted a couple of 123d`s. One to a manual with origional N47 and another to M57N2.

Recent update: 135 Brakes, M135 Wheels and Manual conversion.

I’m back home in the UK at the moment and this is for sale near my dads work: Laguna Green, factory manual, sports seats, smileys, factory load cover with dog guard, service history, taxed and MOT’d so drive it home for £4500 (just over $9000).

They have been there since you could buy a E36 M3 Evolution brand new so no excuses! 2015 is generous though, in my head, BMW stoped making cars and shut down after the E46. On another note, check out this double project! Just in time really as I was looking at both buying an E39 as a project and a house I don't like!
