    Looking at an M50NV Coupe.

    Looking at trading my iX for this local M50NV Coupe.

    The car has a few issues.

    Idle is lumpy and rough - Owner of the car says the O2 sensor is unplugged and needs to be replaced

    There is no clutch feel to a certain point. Feels like the clutch needs to be bled.

    The brakes are kind of sketchy. I can feel them "pulsing". Owner of the car says the PO forgot a gasket between the master cylinder or something and it's just an air leak...

    Are these issues things that can be dealt with pretty easily? I'm not completely clueless just excited and kind of annoyed because I saw the car in the dark. Other than those issues the car drove amazingly. I really want to do it but my iX drives really nice and i'm not sure if I can part with it.

        The non vanos m50 is not worth it unless the rest of the car is super clean.

          You are a dedicated man my friend. I think I just NEED to build a swap car now or jump on this one.

            Yeah, that sounds like a bad idea. If its running rough with the O2 unplugged. Its not the O2.

            Stay far away from that.
