M3AN 4016 Report post Posted July 18, 2017 Questions for seller: 1. When you stopped was there 6 litres of oil on the road behind you? How far behind you? 2. Does "on road costs included" mean "drive away"? Might be worth the 10k! Question for you all: Why, in today's day and age with modern electronics etc, doesn't a low oil pressure warning force the car into limp mode, instantly start reducing available power and force the rev limit (eventually) down to 0. Would be trivial to implement in software. 3 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

E46 M3, E92 M3, E60 M5 (and similar) all do bottoms ends Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Olaf 3308 Report post Posted July 18, 2017 $10k is a bit spendy - sh#t, it's a non-runner! How much for that M5 powerplant that @BM WORLD has for sale? You'd want some fat left in it after sourcing replacement engine and getting it all sorted. Maybe I should buy it and make it into an ///M 645. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LemonHunter 583 Report post Posted July 18, 2017 Holy sh*t balls, so fuel consumption seems to be an average of 17.5L/100km, or $330ish/1000 (Being very conservative), and oil is another $150/1000km? $0.48/km to drive this thing without even accounting for Reg/Wof/Insurance/Tyres/Maintenance etc?!

The E36 M3 Evo is also well known for having weak bottom end bearings too. Theyre just highly strung engines that need care. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
