Not negative... I assumed it was yesterday... was curious as to what was happenening

What's happening with the "Dream" ??? Auctions have all finished this week now... did you miss out on the 328 ??

If you want manual...buy a manual... I suggest you do some research before you jump into this

No TC's needed

Day 4.... Don't feel to bad today, slept better last night and feel a bit more relaxed than yesterday. I've found changing my habits and not substitution is working. I usually go out on the deck to smoke- I haven't been on the deck since the WE... I usually light a cig when I get in the car- I now eat a banana. A beer at night.. I have cheese & tomatoe crackers with it instead of the ciggy... I still feel like ripping something apart though

Are you sure it's the vanos ? It's more common for the alternator idler and tensioner bearings to get very noisey before they break. Has someone checked it for you, and scanned it ? The lack of power may not be associated with the noise. The noisey bearings may also be activating the front knock sensor, which will effect engine performance.

I've read this through twice now... there is no mention of pre-purchase inspection, mechanical inspection, a road test, a warranty ??... be very careful if your are buying this at auction. The SOGA does not apply for an auction and 75% of what is auctioned has something minor/major wrong with it. Sure dreams are free, they also can very quickly turn into nightmares... just be very careful. Is there any written history and copies of servicing receipts available to veiw ?

Kerry... stop smoking... spend the money on your car... let the neighbour keep the wife happy J Joking... ATM I feel like killing something... anyone got a 325 Vanos steel block engine they want stripping, cleaned , parts label'd , so long as I can keep the block ?.. has to be 325 not 320 and not alloy

2 years here , 3,565 posts & you still talk shyte

You been pulled over by her too Heath ?? lota fun eh ??

+1... a screaming woman in the back seat is far better than a screaming BOV.. followed buy funny blue & red LED lights

I could offer some advice... but after reading all of this I think I would be wasting my time. To me, Heino has made his decision.. just wants us to all back him up.. I thinks its the wrong decision to go for the Mitzi & the 328. Maintanence on both is way outside your income... the 316 being an example (no offence intended or implied)

Is this all just another dream everyone has contributed to & obviously wasted there time with ??

Thanks Chris and everyone else.. I haven't purchased cigarettes since last week... had my last on Monday morning at 3.00am .. havent touched one since. Last night was hard going though, kept waking up with the hot & colds. Glad I got a nap yesterday arvo. I feel like crap ATM & I'm home a bit early again.. even so its nearly 3.00pm and I got to work at 4.30am. I agree with Graham too , I'm reading the book and I'm not using any substitutes

The problem is... you can't insure something unless you own it. I can't insure my staff's tools either

Give me a call Mark... (09)2722546

Just had a wee nap... now I feel like crap... I so am craving for a ciggy... and a beer. I'll have a beer but not the other.. don't have any and dont want the habit (addiction) ever... again. I have to win this... not the other prick

Without being able to check it, its hard to say...could be a starter fault.. do you have a multimeter ? and do you know how to use it ? (no offence intended )

Good boy... lol

Does the shower still work out rural ??... joke... I know what you mean... just 2 days and lots of things change. I'm not looking forward to the hot & cold sweat nights.. I have done this before.. ten years ago.. it'll probably start happening in the next few days.. hot, cold, hot, cold... sweating and real weird dreams... tolerance levels drop at this point for the loss of sleep factor... I suggest sleep alone when this happens... you can get quite emotional and violent in your sleep

Welcome to the forum... without knowing where your from makes it hard to offer suggestions. I would suggest that you get any car your thinking of purchasing checked by either a dealer or an independant BMW specialist

I read different things... I then distanced myself from the smoker inside who has control... alienated him from me...then planned my escape... It started Monday morning.. I'm either going to go mad or escape..

I gave the a**hole a 9 month holiday... 10years ago.. business & people brought the prick back from holiday.. I called it an extended cruise... he called it a break... This time he has to go

I read a few pages on Sunday... thats why i had the arguement yesterday with the resident a**hole. Wifey got the book for me sometime ago.. I know where I'm heading now.. its not a dairy (drugstore)..
