Buddy of mine bought it, thinking it would be a cheap "drop a used engine in and go" deal, though I think he is having second thoughts. It's not THAT clean, thought its decent.'

I put it to him like this:
$500 for the car
$2k plus incidentals for the engine
+labor

and you have car that you could spend a few hundred more and have one that runs and drives.

Yuuuup.

Waiting on an 8.5lb flywheel and clutch, then it'll be driving, decided to keep it BMW though and do a turbo m50 on e85.



I can swing by and lend you one of my scanners that does manufacturer specific DTC's. I have to go out to Jeff's sometime before Saturday.

Awesome dude, I'd really appreciate that.

[VaderTT]

lol. How is yours coming anyway?

I read that yesterday. lol Thanks for the heads up though. If I do check it out I'll be swinging it by a parts house to do a code scan.

What are the details on the one you've got anyway? Are you going to do an engine swap or part it?

BTW, that dealer has a ton of ripoff reports on him. One was electrical tape over the lights on the dash so that they dont light up, and that makes me think we ended up with one of his cars from the auction.

At this point there are far too many mix and matched options to be sure on it. You'd have to get a look at the sticker inside the drivers door jamb. The biggest indicator is the steering wheel. That isn't something most people who are even enthusiasts would go around changing, however in 01, the iL didn't have that wheel as an option. We could seriously do this all day with the way BMW options shit.

Almost every enthusiast owned e38 I've seen in person has been a hodge podge of OEM parts. Even the e36 and e39 guys do that. There is a guy on BF.c desperately looking for powered coupe rear windows right now, I think he is offering like $1500.

The car you posted is not a sport, if it is indeed a 00.

Since I was talking about 01's all along that would make me right. I understand you being upset about being wrong, DJ. I mean, it's never happened to me before, but I'm sure it's a blow to your ego..
