C4624CCC-6B42-4252-96F1-A0997C3337C1.jpeg After some serious time away I’m back with a track build. I picked this up in February after spotting it on eBay. Viewed and bid hard given the fact that there wasn’t a lot of history and the car needed some work. The car has previously been a driver academ...

Welcome back! What're the plans for the track car? No real firm plans as of yet. I've got plenty of ideas but need to keep things semi sensible budget wise.....

Do you plan on keeping this one Barry?

First dibs if you decide to sell?

I'm not going to scrap it. If the auto is not salvageable then I'm going to convert it to a stick shift.

I do wonder what the break at though?

I'm about to pull my hair out with the car trouble I've been having this week. Needless to say it's not over yet! The auto box on my 530d has started to play up! When cold the box seems to hold onto gears and the shift quality is poor until warm. Once everything is all warm the shifts seem o.k. The ...

Thanks for the quick response Brett

I'm cracking open my piggy bank as we speak!

Can I have a price please?

E39 530d Touring 2003.

I believe this is called a final stage resistor.

I like this Turd.

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... ink:top:en

Rear suspension problems and a lack of history would have me running for the hills.

How much money can you sink into these turds?

Steves car is rarer, has less miles, has had more (expensive) work done and is £2k cheaper. No brainer imo. way too many doors ! even a pig ugly E36 touring is nicer looking than a four door turd :) IMO if your going to have an M3 it has to be a coupe' :D Sort of agree, if it's going to be your fun...

I hear what you guys are saying about the SMG This is over on the cutters site. Its a 3 owner car. The chap who owns it is the third owner. Its the right colour combo for me. http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=85547 Its top end money. I have arranged to go and have a look Monday. What do...

Is that for someone to carry out the swap Pete.

I can wield the spanner. It looks like you can use the original box.

Going to have a look at this on Monday. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-M3-3-2i-Evolution-3-Dr-Coupe-SMG-1998-In-Black-with-sand-leather/251402258725?_trksid=p2047675.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222002%26algo%3DSIC.FIT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D11%26meid%3D4363477236992747239%26pid%3D100011%26prg%3D1005%26rk%3D2%26r...

Sold my sport today.

JBU has gone to a good home and I'm sure she will be looked after.

Time for something with some serious grunt.

JBU is going to a new home tomorrow. I'm looking for a replacement. I quite fancy an M3 or something with some serious grunt.

I'm liking this apart from the non OEM number plates.

Is this about the right money?

Its sold already!

Loads of coding faff, is it really worth it? If you really want a manual id say just buy one and have a less stressful life :) Have you ever changed the oil/filter on the box?

Why dont you like the box? I cant fault mine at all TBH The shift quality is crap when its cold. My box seems to hold onto revs until its warm.

Dan and Pacer. You boys are always banging on about the difference between the petrol and diesels being negligible :D I'm getting more frustrated with the auto in the E39. I really fancy a manual.
