MY car is stuck in 2nd gear

[4do E30]

I do tooooo believe me

[nickpdx]

This thread is lulz.

Hope the e30 finds a better home.

thanks smonk. and watson takes amazing care of his ix. contrary to how he drives his red car, he doesnt redline his ix everywhere he goes

[smonkbmw]

Like I said I took amazing care of my iX.

blocks dont make holes in themselves.

to the OP: good move on wanting to sell. it takes a smart, responsible individual to realize when they have bitten off a lil more than they can chew. and there is nothing wrong with that. if only more people would realize that there would be less threads like this.

btw the z4 shifter has more than once proven itself to be the WRONG part for this car. even the people that say in this thread that there is nothing wrong with it have had issues with it in the past. those same people have complained about the same problem, the linkage rubbing on the driveshaft. so if the PO installed it i dont see a fault that you are responsible for, especially if you didnt know any better. again props for wanting to get something a lil more feasible budget wise and something that can take your abuse. this is the exact reason i went from VWs to BMWs, i just cant seem to break them, but apparently you have found a way :D

what?

Calm down the only advice you need is do some work, Eric had a problem, and he got it fixed. Buy jack stands, and a floor jack and get going. I always see threads "my car is broke, fix it" They expect the forum to cast a spell to fix their car magically. Buy a trans IF its the problem and fix associated parts. We cant help without pics or some knowledge from you as to what actually is the problem.



And if this is not throwing you under the bus, Im not sure what is.

Or wait a minute

Matt im outta this convo! So dont act like you know and put words in my mouth. So stfu

Like I said I took amazing care of my iX.

Anyone that road with me would back that up.

yeah, i'd love to buy that car but def not for what your asking. i has cash in hand though. =]

would hopefully serve good DD if you didnt fuck it up too bad lol

[daniel]

it wasnt used to that

cars that are driven hard aren't "more used" to being driven hard. driving any car hard is just that, hard on the car. certain cars can take a beating better than others, the e30 being one of them, but you can't expect a 20 year old car to hold up like a newer one.

[4do E30]

I've only had the car for a few weeks and i drove it haaarrrddddd so obviously it wasnt used to that

[JeremyL]

I'm not hating, just trying to work the price down.

[4do E30]

it was babied untill i got it... 4300 is what i would like but i would be satisfied with like 3800. why yall gotta hate im just a confused kid driving the wrong car

[namsayin]

........you want $4300 for this car?!
