worst Christmas present ever

[325_e30]

Check the battery connections

nothing wrong

doesn't seem to have structural damage..minor rear repair so a brand spankin new bumper, shocks and impact strip is a go! better still, collect the cash and save money buying new old parts and fixer up!!

thats the plan!

check the motor mounts if it got ripped and the engine moved forward a bit. just sayin.

they seem to be intact.


still at a loss.. maybe the bump moved my muffler and shifted/clogged the cat?

that is nowhere near totaled. that was a lil bump, don't listen to these wackos

[ak-]

So effing totaled.

i would probably got out and threw that fuck into traffic.... i have terrible road rage when ignorance is in play

[mikeedler]

I would guess a bad o2 sensor now, or the cat ceramic is cracked up and clogging up.
try to uplug the o2 sensor and see if its better.

$40 at the junkyard and the car will look fine.

maybe check the flywheel sensor connections. my 86 528e had some issues with them. random no-start/bad idle issues, cuts off while running, etc.

that bump may have shook something loose...

Fuel filter/ pump .might have bumped something in the tank and clogged yo shit up.

Is his insurance paying?

Why are you on an e30 forum if you drive an e28?

Any idea why its stuttering now?

When I accelerate its wants to bog out.

before the hit it ran like a champ, no stutters or anything.

Passenger side motor mount looks to be intact, but is broken. That caused the intake boot to crack from engine movement, since the filter housing is bolted to the inner fender. Put a new boot on it and it runs like a champ (well auto 528e) again. :up:
