auto trans. :(

well im interested in this 325e that this guy has but i now know that its an auto. i really wanted a manuel. now i know you guys are saying, Manuel swap! but its not really worth doing in a 325e is it? anyway he said that transmission needs to be programed since the ecu or computer was out. is that true? im not sure since ive never owned an auto car.


thanks

That guy is full of shit,these transmissions don't get programed.The auto transmissions don't even have a single electrical wire going to them.

If the tranny does not shift properly you need to:

1) add fluid to spec.

if it still does not shift, it's shot and you need to overhaul it or get a new one, as wickedE30 said, he's full of S.... ;)

first, you shouldn't but a BMW with an "e" after the numbers.

^^^^^

well i went to check one out but it wouldnt turn on, he switched the computers, he had like three or four and everytime it would just sit there cranking but wouldnt turn on. do we have to wait for the computer to do its thing or what? how can you check if the fuel pump is working?

I meant don't buy an eta.

And the car not starting sounds like a good reason to walk away and wait for a better deal.

[Bimmerboy91]

i would wait but im in need of a car to drive everyday and here where i ive there are rarely any e30's for sale. i know that an eta isnt the best but it isnt the worst.

plus i might get a good cheap deal on it and he'll probably fix the problem for me
