really sucks after passing up the M325 on trademe just last week and purchasing an overpriced iS lip instead. Oh the poorness. [edit] with the piston there was a chain of events before hand, thats just wat I was told so far, as i said wait for hte report and I'll post up full details. The guy spent 2mins on the phone just explaining.. this broke, which in turn caused this to break which broke this this this and this and yea... [/edit]

I'll wait till written report comes back, basically one of the pistons stayed up and there was a collision that caused all hell to break loose. 128,000km's .... gutted like a fish .

Driving back from Tauranga on the weekend, I had a slight incident. All of a sudden the steering wheel began to shudder violently... I turned down my stereo to notice that it wasnt my non existant bass. Basically I've killed my M20 2.0L and I'm not a very happy chappy. The repair bill is pretty high and I'm looking at a few options. 1) Buy a 2.5L engine and hook it up with the help of others 2) Buying a new car (possibly not an E30) 3) Paying the repair bill and have it fixed 4) Buy a new engine and pay for professional install If I'm getting a new engine it will be no less than 2L (320,323,325) and preferably manual gearbox. The car is being stored in the workshop half way to tauranga and will need to be towed back on a trailor. If anyone has any ideas where I'm able to rent a trailor be sure to post them up, I'm going to talk to my mate see if I can borrow the club trailor to get it back upto Auckland, estimated towtruck cost was going to be between $300 - 500. At the moment I'm leaning towards doing a complete 2.5L engine + 5 speed manual gearbox conversion as sorta a holiday project, its going to be a tedious process so will require a bit of advice and maybe some labour here and there. Doing a conversion would end up being quite useful as I would then be able to replace the consumables that would normally need replacing after my 320 engine got fixed. Would seem like a fresh engine again. Oh and if anyone wants a cheap M20 manual - > auto conversion I've got one going cheap. Thanks guys, your thoughts are welcome provided your names not sic .

so Andy killed his 320i engine, we're in code red. I need a new engine basically asap. Anyone with something on offer please feel free to get ahold of me either by pm or email. Preferably M20 engine with manual box, if you have an auto please feel free to keep it as I have an autobox sitting here already.

if your 15 I'm guessing your still on your learners ? Dont be doing major performance mods just yet as you will burn on insurance and oi ! ... insurance is hte best mod you can put on your car, infact its a requirement. I suggest your first work on the car be 1) Insurance if you haevnt done it already 2) Full BMW service 3) New tyres if you need them dont go wasting ur money on mods untill your've got all that other stuff done. Some owners generally leave some work to be done on the car when it actualyl goes to sell so it would pay to get that major first service outa the way.
