Hi Guys

So the inevitable eventually happened with my car. Valve stem seals seem to have gave in. I noticed if I stop for a while with car idling, a puff of smoke is visible on my rear view mirror. The car currently has 140k km on it. I got in touch with Ross Duncan who quoted me approx. 8k, Tune tech said it cud be anything between 16-23k (jaw dropped after hearing this), also got in touch with a gentleman by the name of Omesh in Midrand who quoted me 6.5k. Has anyone had to deal with a similar issue and who around Gauteng sorted you out and at what amount? Thanks.

Anyone know this car?

Hi Fanatics,

A buddy of mine, out of town is looking to buy a 1M. He specifically wants a fully spec'd one, with all or as many of the bells and whistles as possible.

We have contacted this dealership to view the vehicle, we have also done the necessary "comments" check and all is clean. However, the dealer advised that they had purchased this car from a bank as the car was repossessed. Hence, we just want to find out if anyone here possible knows someone who knows someone who knows the previous owner? Any help is appreciated...

I'm in the process of buying a Head Gasket and the mech swears by BMW (O.E ) and nothing else. I'm of the opinion of using Elring as I cannot source a AE/ Goezte /Fel Pro.

Victor Reines is not an option.

Your thoughts on the matter

Thanks for looking

Hi fanatics,

I have a slight issue with my 320i e90 (2006 model) on 190k Km on the clock. It vibrates a lot when I drive it above 120 km/h. At first, I thought an alignment was the issue, took it for alignment but it still does the same issue. Someone told me that there's a problem with my prop shaft coupling. Could this be correct? I don't want to end up paying for things that are not broken, though I was told by someone that works for BMW.

He said he'd fix it for me for R700. Want to take it there as soon as possible because he is a friend of mine as well. But I want to make sure before I take it to him. If coupling is not the issue, can you please tell me what the issue might be?

Kind Regards

TAG Motorsports - BLACK BETTY - F82 M4 Project Build Thread

Edit: Adapted from http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/showthr...?t=1010842 (all property belongs to TAG Motorsports)



She is here and it is safe to say that we didn’t waste any time pulling out the tools and getting to work on this project! We received our project M4 a couple weeks ago from our friends over at BMW Encinitas, they helped us get our Black Sapphire on Black Full Leather, including Ceramics and all the other bells & whistles BMW had to offer making it a hefty 91k Build. First up we wanted to post a quick shot of the car in its virgin state. All photos below are from our amazing photography Robert Grubbs / Grubbs Photography. Here it is in its stock state:





Next up we wanted to get cranking with the wheels and the suspension on the vehicle. For our first set of wheels our friends over at MORR sent us this gorgeous set of 20" MORR MS53 Wheels in their Rose Gold finish. We quickly ran a couple of test fitments and we were good to go!





For suspension, we pulled the factory shocks and springs and swapped those for a set of H&R Super Sport Springs temporarily until our other suspension option arrive.

Duke Engine... What do you guys think?

thanks

I feel ashamed that I haven't been frequenting the forum for the last few months, but I just had to write this...

I've run out of my Chemical Guys stash at last and LC pointed me towards Auto Finesse (http://www.autofinesse.co.za) for more "up to date" detailing products. Cant wait to try them, but that's not what this "RAVE" is about, it's concerning the excellent service I received.

Upon ordering my products Vishal, the shop owner, dropped me a personal email to thank me for my order minutes after it was placed (10:10pm Monday evening). He also gave me a call the next morning to confirm my order. It did not stop there. After packaging and getting my products ready for shipping, he sent me a photo of the waybill via Whatsapp for tracking purposes. After delivery I received another Whatsapp to ask whether I was happy with the packaging and if all was in order.

What an amazing level of customer service. Premium products with premium service, what more do I need to say. I know where my detailing products will be coming from in future.

Keep it up Vish!!

Working on my Opel and MG ZR myself gave me the courage to tackle my first BMW DIY ....you know you have to work your way up to working on a much superior car

Found the dreaded Expansion tank leak early , leaked right on the top seam . Got a Expansion tank from the boys at Goldwagen with the BMW logo scratched off, new cap and coolant from the dealers this morning . Google 'd the @#$ out of Expansion tank DIY and 90min later I was done... so far no leaks , heater blowing nice and hot and hidden OBD showing 92C when driving around in traffic a bit ....so far so good !!!

This Dakar Yellow car belongs to a new fanatic and has come in for tidying up purposes.

I shall finish tidying up a few issues and it will then go to Gizmo to have the clutch and rear main oil seal checked out.

444YYY was kind enough to read codes for us as our INPA does not speak 1994 ZA build M3s and we found 11 faults.

3 of them crucial enough to stop the car from performing like a 325 let alone an M3.

Below a few pics of what was found.

The tensioner pulley....well what remains of the tensioner pulley

---

---

Wrong fan blade

---

Wrong bolts on the water pump pulley which will lead to complications as a 32 spanner is not made that thin as to fit in the diminished space.
We will likely have to grind the heads so as to fit it in to release the viscous

---

Note how the bottom radiator hose has swelled and how the incorrect serpentine belt is being used "being a 5 rib belt instead of the normal 6 rib"

---

Leaking PS hoses.
