Arron

what was it up there for?

Up forsale is this un molested example of a 2006 130 factory Motorsport manual 

has 1486** km on it 

4 near new tires 

new left rear wheel bearing 

new right rear window winder motor 

fresh oil change and filter 

Just had a fresh warrant and 6 months reg 

headlights have just been restored 

sasch performance suspension

inside is very tidy, steering wheel has a little bit of wear on it 

exterior is in pretty good condition, little bit of clear peel on the bumper and some scratches in the right rear as shown in photos 

*** currently it is a couple of error codes throwing up for mixture control and valvetronic range error. From the quick investigation I have had it looks to be a temperamental eccentric shaft sensor.
At this stage it is being sold as it is, however if I get the chance to sort these in and around uni in the short term the price will change accordingly***

$9000 ono

The infamous M3 coupe was sold pre auction to a previous owner. 15% buyers premium on top of hammer price. Good luck with the auction, its a poorly detailed catalogue. The bikes may sell well.

Hope you get it for a good price, be sure to spill the details if you do! ?

Definitely a little more than I wanted to get it for but still cheap enough

I though about it.  But a 130i on the open road would be a nicer car and better spec'd for that price.  Might keep an eye on it.

 

Watching that one too.  I would just go get it.  But I have a trailer.  Still have to pay ferry and fuel though.  Who's Bimmer4life on TM.  They were bidding on those munted BBS wheels the other day too.

That will be me

@leichtbau

They sold for $1100...  And I only realized this morning when I went to place a bid that two of the wheels are missing their bolts.

also go back and look at the pictures.. you'll see the centers have also been bored out...

White auto LCI with bent chassis rail on faceballs for $1k at moment, looks like a decent parts car 

Went and looked at it 3 days ago 

needs a front rail put Into it as it has started to corrugate itself up by the subframe so needs a complete rail put into it. 
 

really only a parts car as even though it’s registered, pitting a rail Into it is a huge job!

gonna be keeping an eye on this auction.. it might finally be time to get into an M3.. was originally thinking E92 but might be an E46 even better!!

does anyone else just get a feeling of "used and abused" from this? 

half arsed photos, gumby boi shifter, comments from the previous owner...

dunno why, just get that feeling about it ?

Maybe I'm an optimist but considering everything I've ever heard about how stringent the engineer cert and recompliance process is, I'd have to think that it's a good car and it's hardly worth worrying about. Sure, it'll hurt resale but that's beside the point. 

yeah, I wouldn't be so optimistic on this one to be totally honest. The system is there, but dealing with it everyday you soon realize how floored it is and some of the workmanship that gets through is frightening. 

The current system is not bad, HOWEVER there are still some quite frankly F****** horrible repairs going through certification. We have had cars come through with shocking welding and panel replacement which has been done be people with the "Icar" tickets.. it is pretty scary.

Given that the repair took place 12 years ago when the processes were not in place like they are today and the whole certification process was still in the days of being a boys club, I would definitely be getting it looked at to ensure it has all been done properly. Lifting up the carpets to ensure things are on on the inside where the new rail has been put in and has been painted/cavity waxed as required

I'm not suggesting you get work done elsewhere, just that you go somewhere that will read and print the codes for you.

BMW themselves aren't very good with M cars either. They often have 1 tech who's been certified and then they either leave to forget what they've learnt for older cars. In fact, a BMW dealership is probably the worst place to take an older M car tbh.

My faith in Bmw techs is Indeed very quickly vanishing ?

So..... firstly, Lester now has his bmw back up and running after over a year and several  thousand dollars of “hunting the issue” style of bmw repair strategy (coils,plugs,fuel pumps,o2 sensors.... the list goes on) . I seriously wonder how some “head technicians” get their jobs within Bmw.

initial scan of the m3 came back with the following codes (in the picture). Did some googling, and found out that the cat code is Indeed the cause of the limp mode, but what was causing it? Cleared it all off, took the car for a drive and as expected, went onto limp mode along with the cat code and o2 codes coming back 

during this drive, love data on the scanner showed that the o2 sensor voltage values were NOT changing, which was totally odd 

as you can see, ALL 4  Sensors have the same heater error...... put everything nag together and was like, surely if all 4 sensors have the same error.... it must be a common something connected to all 4. 
 

First thing first, checked the o2 sensor fuse.... wouldn’t you know it.... it was blown ? as a result, the heaters were not working and the sensors were not reading as they should have been...... in turn triggering the cat protection codes because of the “lean readings” in relation to rpm 

some things are not hard to use half a brain and figure out.... and how Bmw have now been able to use 1/20th of a single brain cell to follow the dead obvious signs fails to amaze me 

I suspect that what has happened is one of the original O2 sensors has failed, shorted and taken the fuse with it creating the further errors when the new ones were installed 

but anyway, problem solved!

Have a good scanner located in Christchurch.

more than happy to pop over and give it a scan to see if we can help in anyway
