Patterson Posted March 10, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Nope your not ahead, you are about dead even. Math boy. Monies earned parting out the GST-purchase price of BMW (including a new stereo) = Erik has money left over. In terms of build quality in cars? Bimmer whoops that DSM's pimpled ass hands down. Even with twice the mileage. German cars FTW. Never shall I stray again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoostedAce Posted March 10, 2011 Report Share Posted March 10, 2011 Iv had both, the bmw will fuck your wallet. Bought my 325i with 79k miles. Front sturts/lower ball joints, rear shocks, Abs light, leaked a shit ton of Oil. The big one was the themostat getting replaced every 2 years. The car was a complete electrical nightmare.

They're like homing beacons for ratards to hit you. It was a typical adventure for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You must be retarded. Replacing a thermostat is like $20 if you do it yourself, and if you cant do that you must be a regular hellen keller. All the peripherals on these can be found for decent prices. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted March 14, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 14, 2011 You guys are killing me. Did a little house keeping this week. I bent a wheel on Wednesday, got a new one installed Friday. Thanks to Shanton for that one. I've had a brake light out all week as well. Replacing the bulb didn't do anything, so a little more digging and thanks to the ODC I ended up with a brake light circuit failure. 18 bucks later and a new brake switch all is well. On deck this week are gathering parts to replace the worn out, craked and generally hosed intake parts for new stuff. The nightmare of fab work begins. 3 45's, some Silicone couplers, and filter need to be ordered. Since I don't have a billion dollars for an exhaust I'll have to build my own for that too. Hopefully this week will be nice enough to get some decent pics. Exhaust stuff should be here this week as well as a few other important bits. :ninja: Right now the big one is finding a way to tune it. OBD2 stuff is still in the early stages of being decoded. Conforti has a couple of flash tuners but they have generic off the shelf tunes. I want to see if they can change a few functions around to do other things. I'm on the hunt for an LSD, OBD1 Intake manifold, and cam cores to send off to Delta. Finally things are getting interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patterson Posted March 22, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2011 Oh noes. On-Topic stuffs. Finally got the headers in today, tomorrow off to Moorespeed for some work that will set the stage for some future "plumbing" projects. Not gonna lie, I got the headers from Ebay. Just as with the last two sets I've bought off there I'm impressed. Clean welds, decent polish job. Too bad they're gonna get coated. I'll throw some pics up tomorrow after I get the car back. Since this thing is OBD2, and more than a bear to tune, I think I'm gonna go with a few MSD parts for Timing and Ignition control. It's a simple answer for the result that I need, and it should work flawlessly. Between all the coating work I've got right now, this project, and a regular job, it leaves little time for anything else. What fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
