Newly purchased 135i running badly - beginning of a saga?
KwS replied to SteveArmy90's topic in Maintenance
Life would be easier if he had just taken the 2x injector fix, and enjoyed the car. Sure, itll break down again, no doubt, but thats what the warranty is for. Instead its turned into a complete clusterf**k, that still has no end in sight. I want a good outcome for the OP because its been a rough intro to BMWs, but this has gotten harder than it needed to be. -
Good to see nothing changed since the boot lid wiring loom issues the E36 had then >_< Why change a good thing eh BMW?

Probably something reliable, a Corolla maybe -
It doesnt say in the listing what engine and box are currently in the car. Someone close to the car mentions in the Q&A it has a later E23 injection system fitted, but whether thats to the standard engine, who knows. Stunning colour though!

Not quite sold on the interior colour, but everything else is awesome. Cool to see a wagon in something other than black/blue/silver
-
Its nice, but i cant help but feel the (trendy) battleship grey lets it down a bit. Would look awesome in a nice orange or blue. I wonder what the deal with it is? Is it NZ new or an import? Thats almost delivery km really, so why not through a dealership?
-
From the description and Q&A, that car is a LOOOONG way from being worth collecting. Good toy though.

Mmm, best interior and great color. GL!

Hope my car sells soon, i'd be all over this. Its about time i had a dirty diesel.

My E36 had a rev hang after being converted to manual. Apparently it was common when still using auto ECU and changing to manual one or flashing it to manual software would've fixed it.

Use realoem to compare part numbers for e39 and the others, to be sure.

Either or, at least if the warranty covered it, it would be fixed.... -
No no, its "Rear 5sp" ?

I've flogged this horse a lot with people and I totally agree with you. 50,000km is low. 100,000 is reasonably low, anything above that is just average.

Stop acting like the sh*t BMW pedals is any better than anything else. Its not some magical elixir that will stop everything from blowing up anyway.
-
Oh lordy that looks good.
-
If thats not rust buggered, i'd be amazed. Its a good price though, even if just for parts.
-
You've been trying to sell the 525e for a while now, and obviously its not shifted. You're only going to start losing money or giving it away soon, so it seems to me you would be better off just reshelling and sell the 525 bits. Do NOT cut the tags out, that is full retard advice.

I pay less than $61 for a 6L concentrate of Nulon green coolant. $5/L at 50/50, or less if you mix it a different ratio (which lets face it. you dont NEED 50/50 in most of NZ anyway).

I think you deserve more of a roasting for owning a CLS tbh. Horrid ugly "sat on by fat person" things. ?

?Marrakesh brown, even if it is a bit over done these days

Its alright, @M3AN hasnt been along yet ?

Do AA inspections check for stored codes if the CEL isnt lit?
