So i was driving it around for the first time (besides the test drive). And the engine shuts off. It turned over fine, and giving it throttle the engine runs fine. It didnt want to hold an idle, and the seller just replaced the ICV. So I busted out my trusty smart phone and started to google away. I knew it must have been something that came loose. After inspecting the engine bay in depth, i discovered this;



Theres a hose that runs into the Pleneum that came loose. I stuck it back in and she started right up again, but it wasnt secure. Good thing I had tape with me ;)



runs like a charm again...LOL just need to take it in to figure out how to secure that hose.

i took it for a bath today, I swear it hasnt seen a car wash in over a year! Sprayed some degreaser on the wheels. Looks like one of the wheels is slighty bent. So looks like new wheels are in the plan in the future. Replace the roundels, M3 badge. Added some decals for extra WHP. Even though the interior is completely shot, I still plan on wiping everything down, vacuuming and throwing away some old mats manana. Added some redline fuel system cleaner today as well.

near future plans'
- BMW oil
- magnetic plug
- AFE air filter
- oil filter
- brake fluid flush
- BMW logo on wheels
- rattle can black front grill
- new black the black area on the bumpers
- replace front and rear glass

long term plans'
- new interior
- new wheels and tires
- bushings replaced
- brake (rotors, pads, SS lines)
- cat back exhaust
- TMS tune
- Paint!
- coilovers
