m3 is a crap veichle ...period ... way too manyu problems with that car, my mate has one constant problems and emptying the wallet
problems or no problems the M3 cant be described as crap !
it is a fantastic piece of machinery, that everyone, including Lexus have tried to emulate.........and failed !
I think the problem is
BMW = lots of go making in right car
Lexus = First go
Maybe the next one will be better ;)
I wouldnt buy the pertols, as like you say engine issues
90k Miles
FMDSH
2.0 D4D
T3
But I am alittle confused if it is the 90BHP, 110 HP or the 116BHP.
The engine is an 1CD-FTV which iam sure is the same in the mark 2 avensis!
What I would like to do is install a diesel performance chip but i need to know which engine it is!
Another picture.
I have decided to buy the car back
Due to one reason
1- Brand New Battery (70£)
2- 60£ fuel in car
3 - £130 stereo
I have bought the car back of insurer.
My car is a 1999 V reg
80k Miles
FSH (lexus and Lexus Doncaster based firm)
I was in manchester for short term,
I am now live in wakefield :) (near leeds)
I dont have the car, the insurance people have the car.
THe only bad point was the alloys, (needed refurb)
Had that acutually booked in as well! to fix
What should it be worth ?
I cant remmber what i paid for it
can anyone give me a price approx prices for these items
from a salvage yard
bonnet,hinges.2x wings,front panel,bonnet catch plus cable, bumper,poss crash bar,head lamp washers,head lamps,
if i get it back it will be repaired and back on the road.
I didn't mean to sound like some kind of vulture with my post, my apologies, as I do feel your pain, and its not the shortest of processes to get things sorted after a bump, hope all works out Ibby
no need buddy!
i didnt take any offence
I will find out tommrow,
But my understanding was that Jig work would only be needed if the crash bar on the front was broken/snapped
the way the car has hit, its hit over the crash bar.
OMG!
I was on the M62 yesterday about 4:30ish and I drove past (at the legel limit :)) a green IS200 parked up on the hard shoulder with a smashed up front, was that you? I think the reg of the car ended in RAR. I was driving back to Ilkley (near Leeds) from Runcorn.
Sorry to see this mate- at least you and your passengers are ok- the car can be replaced.
That was me buddy.
i think i paid 4.5k for it
for LSH ive had it for about 1 year and 6 months.
I dont know what its worth :(
I am on the hard sholder, making the phone call.
Maybe I could buy it back as cat D ?
no airbagsdeployed , seatbelts ok
Only thing i can assume, i was braking so heavy to avoid him that the car had dipped enough to hit the under of his rental van.
car was 100% standard.
I know its a write off
as it needs
front bumper
2 wings
grill
radiator
pipes
timing belt cover
2 lights
2 fogs
bonnet
and braces for lights and stuff.
But ...
me and 2 other people were in the car, and were unhurt.
we all walked away.
I can only thank god that my car did its job and protected us all.
car had full service hstory
and only 80 k on the clock
