One for the 'tell him he's dreaming file'
topnotchrally replied to balancerider's topic in TradeMe discussions
The + Battery post cover is missing! That's dangerous and bizarre and more evidence of apathetic owners. Also the intake cover bolt covers are missing. Not a good look. -

It seems he thinks the carpet on the dash is a selling feature🤦♂️ Nice car but a few thousand over priced. But if it was manual... https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/cars/bmw/listing/5335013274 -

Why is there a fireplace poker where the shifter should be?🤣

Omg. Some nice bits but soooo much wrong and so much wrong with the ad. ‘Rear’ Steering wheel… how is this possible🤦♂️. At least there’s no ‘spear’ parts. If only this energy could be directed toward good.

It is nice, and it has a towbar 🙂 It can be useful. Wish it had a sunroof. Imported from Japan 2017, how sure of the low kms can one be? It's very unusual for wheel bearings to be going at this low mileage. -
Listed on TM. To abide by the rules I'll price it at $3000. Offers welcome. https://www.trademe.co.nz/a/motors/car-parts-accessories/personalised-plates/listing/5313550179

Nice car but priced like it's a manual, without a black grill.🤣 -

$200,000 extra because it weights 110kg less... seems worthwhile.🙄 -

This is a luxury high-end automobile. What hillbilly ordered it from BMW with no cruise control?

95 E36 M3 Starting/Immobilizer Problem
topnotchrally replied to topnotchrally's topic in General Discussion
Thanks Eagle for the tip. I found the immobilizer, it was fine 😞 The problem was the ‘start detection relay’. A small relay in the fuse box. The documentation is a bid sketchy. There are actually 2 relays, one for the fuel pump and one for the starter, the documentation only shows one relay. I figured out which was which with a volt meter and I put the fuel pump one in place of the starter one. The starter then worked but wouldn’t start... no fuel. I took the relay out of the my 523i ‘rear window’ (thanks REALOEM for the location help), put it in for the fuel pump and wa-la, starts and runs. 🙂 Something to get on my next run to Pick-a-part.
