Well I got this car in a trade and I have to many vehicles so it's time to let it go. It has been a great car and super awesome on gas. Recently it wont start and when it does as soon as you give it gas it will stall. I changed the plugs on it and that didn't seem to make a difference. The person I got the car from was a BMW tech and lots have been replaced and he thinks that there is a short somewhere having to do w/ these three wires that are related to the fuel injection or something like that. I can take a picture of the plug connector in which he is referencing. He thinks that the intake mani needs to be removed so you can get to this black cover where all the wires go into the motor and run new wires to the ecu. I am not comfortable doing this as I am not that tech inclined. I may have the car fixed before sale. I am looking into other things that might be the culprit as well. Here is some info on the car from the PO
156k with maintenance records including oil changes, inspections, parts replacement dating all the way back to the dealer. dealer maintained til 80k. Just had oil changed, has all new fluids including trans, rear, brake fluid (ate super blue). New air filter, exhaust, crank sensor, clutch, cam sensor, intake gaskets, thermostat and housing all replaced less than 2 years ago (reciepts included). I average between 30-33 mpg overall driving on 87 octane. Car is strong for an m42 put down 119rwhp.
Mods
H+R race springs with Bilstien sport shocks
Poly front control arm bushings
Poly engine mounts
Solid rear mounts
Front strut bar
New tie rods and alignment
LSD differential
z4 short shifter with momo knob
full 2.25" exhaust with dynomax muffler (has a converter on for inspection)
Front sloted rotors with hawk pads (need replaced)
Custom smoked US ellipsoids with cool blue silverstar bulbs
black grill
Cloth sport recaro seats in gray
Pioneer cd player, sony rear speakers
z4 floormats
comes with either basketweaves and falken azenis tires or bottle caps with all seasons.
Interior is in excellent condition, only one small dash crack, and someone installed a cupholder that left 2 holes in the center console.
Exterior is in good shape, The driver's side rear door has been replaced!!!!
Since I have owned the car I have done the following.
All new slotted brakes on all 4 corners plus new hawk pads.
Is front lip painted to match w/ custom made splitter tray
Yellow laminx on high's and fogs and clear on the low beams
I have performed 2 oil changes on this car since owning it and the car has about 166k on it or so. Service light is on cuz I don't know how to reset it. I have both sets of wheels for it but the basket weaves are not in the best shape and the tires on the suck as well. At least one of them is bent. Bottle caps are very nice w/ great tires on them. I am trying to fix the car so it's back to running again before I sell it. Since it was running fine before I am hoping it is an easy fix and she will be good to go. I wil ltake current pics in the daylight tomorrow, but here is the original sales ad from the PO when i got it w/ pictures.
Since I plan on having it in running order I am asking $2700 obo, I am up to offers as is. Car is super efficient and lots of fun to drive. I can b reached @ 410 961 0435 and I can provide many refferances if need be. Thanks you.
