^ why you say that?

whats wrong with the car?

Yup. And it was a complete piece of shit. LOL. It MIGHT be worth the 6k if anyone wants to bother fixing all the shit that's wrong with it, but it's definitely not much of a deal at that price, let alone a steal. Biggest problem with it is that the engine keeps dying at idle if you don't keep it throttled. It gets better after it warms up but not much. According to them, it was s/c'ed at one point so the ecu settings or w/e is all fubared atm. Interior is a complete piece... broken glovebox latch, shift knob pops off, you can see the glue in the door panels etc etc. OBC throws a ton of codes... all kinds of light failures, coolant sensor check etc. Skirts are falling apart on the outside. Hood misalign, same with the sunroof, front lip is all warped. None of this is major except the engine thing and could all be fixed, but the vibe it gives off... just feels like a complete piece. Pretty much a no brainer.

Yeah, if you read post #11 I've already gone over to see it yesterday. I actually did have all those questions + more lined up for them, but frankly the instant I saw the car in person I didn't care anymore. It was so obviously abused and neglected it kind of made me sad. :o But really glad at the same time, LOL. I was worried that if it came across as a half decent car I might be duped into buying a lemon, but that def wasn't the case and they made that decision really easy for me, haha.

We still went for a test drive though considering we drove across town just to see it, and my dad and I pretty much shat our pants laughing the whole ride at what a pos it was. It kept trying to stall because of that ecu thing... and actually did stall mid traffic 3 times. Embarrassing. Shift knob kept popping off so eventually I just started shifting with the bare metal stick, not to mention the leather from the knob itself was missing so it was pretty much just a chunk of rubber with an m sticker on top.

And there's a ton of other crap I haven't even mentioned yet. The shadowline trim around the windows have pieces chipped off and missing, intake filter was all crushed... infact, everything under the hood is just a mess. Hard to describe but def sketchy as hell (remember there was a s/c in there at one point and they ripped it out). There's bird shit and leaves all over the car from sitting under a tree and, like I mentioned earlier, it was parked into a curb at angle so like the front lip and bumper is literally warped and molded into the shape of the curb. There's also white wax residue on the black trim pieces from a crap detailing job and probably a ton of other crap I haven't noticed yet. It does have a dinan exhaust though so it sounds really nice... I think that's pretty much the only nice thing I have to say about this car. Ugh... it's usually not like me to talk so much trash, about anything haha.

WOW nothing better to do jeff dont you have a M3 ur self that has been sitting for a awful long time?

1.im rebuilding my m3 on my own, mommy isnt paying for it.

2.my car can sit for years non running with the motor out of it. the shell is worth more than the m3 you just bought that barely runs.

3.dont even think of trying to talk down to me. you know the first person you call when you break something will be me. cause you cant figure out how to work on it by yourself. unless mommy pays to take it to a shop.

4.i own 2 e30s. and im not selling either just because i cant fgure out how to work on either one.

5. read my sig, because apparently you dont get it. btw this is a e30 site.

and mommy is making you sell it because its "to expensive to maintain". obviously you duped her into buying this for you. little does she know, when it says M on the car everything almost triples in price. GOOD JOB

youre confusing "disrespect" as truth.

what is it youre trying to do yourself? there isnt much you can do yourself or that you dont ask for help with. even though you have all the answers in front of you.

in case you havent noticed, youre on a e30 site, this isnt the place to ask e36 questions.

[Mr Watsonsilver]

Have I asked any questions?

[ethirtydavid]

do you guys know each other?

[Wishno87]
