Just ordered a key from BMW for the black car. Right now i have two keys and neither are original.

One key operates the ignition
One key operates the passengers door, glovebox and trunk
No key I have operates the driver's door (prob replaced from junkyard and lazy asshat didn't change out the lock cylinder)

99% chance the key that operates trunk/pass door is the original and some idiot broke the key off in the ignition and just changed it out, but I gotta make sure before I start ordering more locks.

This car was well taken care of for decades and then passed on to some complete broke-dick idiots... luckily I can undo everything they fucked up.

P.S. thanks Eric for the hookup with Concord BMW/Mini!

I would love it if I had the OEM keys for mine. I have 2 VIN cut keys and they dont work.

I found a deal on eBay for 550 shipped for trans, clutch, flywheel, pedal box, harness, shift linkage, driveshaft and all the misc bits necessary. It was from a 328i which has the same trans as the m3. (As does decay's parts z3, nudge nudge)

yeah it would be awesome if someone came and bought all that shit

Am sad, I was waiting for decay to say, "yeah when i said it'd be great if someone would come buy all my shit, I meant, you're so cool Carson, you can have the swap, your M3 needs it" or something along those lines
But alas, I have been wrong

[decay]

...well i would like some of my money back out of it...

well, i just scored another job a couple days ago, and still have to wait another week for the background check to clear before i can start. seeing as i quit my old job in december, not really in a position to give hardware away at the moment.

you younger kids need to learn to code. take dad's old laptop, install ubuntu on it, and start by building a LAMP stack. then work on automating some shit with bash scripts. all free if you already have a computer to do it with. i walked a buddy through the process, and then based on that knowledge, got him a QA job at my last company, making more than 3x what he was previously getting as a game tester. these jobs are out there, you just need to build the skills (and i don't have a degree, so no excuses there).
