    Very tempting,not too riced out,I for one would love to have a car like that as a daily car and swap my e46 for it,the thing that makes me think twice is could you daily drive it ie noise,smell and the like.

    What might help you is to attach some vids showing riding inside the car and outside for a noise perspective,as I said nicely done.

    Tell me about the 2.5L I6 in the 00 330ci.

     

    Good motor?

    How long do they last?

    Is 120K miles to much?

    What should I look for?

    Whats a good price on one?

     

    Reason I am asking I'm going to look at one this afternoon and my knowledge of the BMW line is very limited. Thanks for your help.

     

    I have a 120k on mine 325 e46 and it still feels really tight,its a great daily,does all you want,the key would be to find a car that has had service history.

     

    Motor is pretty bulletproof,lower control arms at >100 k will probably already have been replaced some of the components like expansion tank tend to leak, I replaced mine,while I was in there put in a new thermostat,water pump,belts and Zerex coolant stuff like that and it was pretty straightforward,so nothing major at all

  8. Where are the good Family Restaurants?

    Clarks Diner in Jacktown (outside of Hebron) on st rt 13. Too bad they are closing Nov 1st due to "the family restraunt type of business has no place in todays society". It has been open for 91 years...

     

    Yes a shitty deal,but they would they still be open if people ate there? so something is off ??

     

    I think its hard to compete with the drive through dollar menus,I,m sad Baja Fresh closed and to think of it they got most everything right,great food,clean no microwaves,probably the price killed them? their average ticket was $7.26 something like that... but they folded.

     

    Back on topic,the reason I,m asking is it would be hell on wheels to eat at just "corporate" food so in that vein it would be great to hear of some favorites.

  15. Possible to repair a Greddy intercooler?

    ^^ Good suggestions, I will try doing a diy fix if there are zero leaks.I,m not going to put it back on unless I can flatten it out and this thing is probably going to need a press.

     

     

     

    Carl. We can easily make a pressure tester for it to see if it leaks at all and how bad it is. If you want to try it yourself.

     

    Obviously if it's leaking that's best left to the pros to try and fix, but if it's not leaking I would say straighten out the fins a little and put it back in the car.

    mispelling

    Had a light front end impact at a track day and my Greddy 2 row intercooler took the brunt of it, it has a small curve where it should by flat looking at it from the top and the fins look flat at the corner but could probably be straightened out,just dont want to junk a $1100 kit if it is salvageable.
