Will's car history (maybe returning to seat!)

[BigWill]

It's just the mileage and fact that it was an msport that has value around that mark. Without them, it'd be around £4k max I reckon. Really am lost at what to do

5L of Super unleaded & Fully Comp Insurance? JK

I'd find a cheaper place to drop a new engine in

 

[BigWill]

Found a company that will re-manufacture the existing engine for £2200 and a 7-10 day turnaround. Gonna get that done and then sell off after. In the process if looking for the next car (e92 325)

 

[BigWill]

Update on last post, got myself the e92 325 se (msport a little out of my price range) and I gotta say I'm loving the extra power and the straight 6 note . get about the same mileage as my old one, cheaper tax and decent insurance. I say I'll keep it standard, but don't know how long that'll last lol.

So you sold yours?

 

[BigWill]

Still haven't sorted out the fix yet, need to get a toe company I drag it up to the engine remanufacturer

 

[JordanMk3]

Pictures of the upgrade pleeaaaase!!

 

[BigWill]

I'll get some up tomorrow as I've got a day off, along with the first mod already

 

[BigWill]

I've got the worst luck with cars. I've already had to replace a faulty crankshaft sensor and now it's leaking oil
Anyway here's the pics

 

[m0rk]

Legendary build quality?

 

[BigWill]

Yeah (!) to be honest I can't recall any problem with my Ibiza, before the little accident that is...

 

[BigWill]

BMW no.2 (pg.8 onwards)

...

4 letter word begining with a c ....... hmmm???? lol

get the other wheels on the new beemer will make it look better imo and just sell the car as is or find a cheap second hand engine and drop that it for lot less money as wont get the money back spending loads on a new refurb engine

 

[BigWill]

Unfortunately I looked around for a second hand engine and to get one and swap it over was gonna cost about the same, if not more than a refurb.
Anyway a pic of it on the truck going off to the remanufacturer driven by my brother, it didn't want to go on without a fair bit of scrapeage lol.
I'm gonna really miss it to be honest

 

[JordanMk3]

V nice mate!! You a Beemer man now then?

 

[BigWill]

No I'm really not. This new one has been such a nightmare it's put me off them for a long time. In the month I've had it, I've now had 4 problems. Crank sensor fail, sump gasket fail (twice) which meant removing front suspension and engine lift just to get to the bugger and a few days ago it started running rough as feck, which was a result of the vanos solenoid (just given a clean for now to see if it improves).

F**k bmws i'm getting a 350z.....
