Glad she's back to normal, T.
How's the other BMs going? Thought I recalled your 335 having an issue?
Son still in his E46?
The E46 finally gave up the ghost. The transmission decided it wanted to no longer function at 205k miles. I sold it for nothing just to get it out of my garage. I bought him a '13 Sonata with a brand new engine from Hyundai in it.
The E93 is still on the road at 186k miles. It was my daily for the last 6 months of nightmares with the M5. It has a couple of small issues typical for a car with that many miles (a door mirror that won't fold, for example). The transmission is in a fragile state, but if driven reasonably, you don't know there's any issue. I'm once again buried in medical bills for my kids, so those things on the E93 just aren't a priority.

Sorry for the medical bills man, hope your kids are good.
I'm happy to hear that your M5 has had no issues for the last few thousand miles
It's an auto. Sometimes mid-shift it's like it doesn't want to catch the gear, makes a loud noise and just sits there momentarily. It's been doing it off and on over the years, usually only at high RPMs.I can't complain, though. That car owes me nothing. It's a N54 with the original turbos that's been running a tune since 50k miles. It's been quite excellent, overall.
Sorry to hear of the struggles, but glad you're still partially able to still enjoy is.
Limp mode was what push my uncle to dump his 1995 W140 S420. Going into limp mode at 75mph & having the car arrest itself down to about 30 was not a fun time on a busy CA highway.
This is such a terrible feeling for sure. Dealing with this in our Suburban right now. Limp mode tops out at 25mph.
Actually, it's now running well ALL OF THE TIME! They replaced the pins in the connector on the aforementioned wiring harness and I haven't had a single problem since I got it back.
And, DAMN, this engine is strong!
Glad to finally read some positives our of all of this for you. I am sure you are too.
Well, after I last documented what I thought was the solution on here, it started acting up again. I ordered some new wiring harnesses that took several weeks to get here from Munich, but when they got here they were the wrong ones. When my install shop was doing some test driving, they noticed the Auto Stop/Start wasn't working. From previous experience they knew the electrical system had to be in top shape for that to work, so they started doing some tests with a meter and some more driving and isolated a power drop. They tried some new relays in that section of the system and the car magically came alive, again. I've put a couple thousand miles on it since then, including my annual Devil's Highway run in N. Arizona and it is like new again. No issues.
BTW, I didn't notice the Auto Start/Stop wasn't working because I never use it.
Damn I commented on the older post thinging it was fixed only to see it wasn't. Glad to see it truely might be fixed onec and for all.
does that have the same smg that can be rebuilt and with a few minor changes to convert it to manual?

Mine is just a 335i, so it has the ZF6. It needs to be rebuilt at this point. I've replaced all the seals and filters and upped the pressures with the software. I believe those are all the band-aids available to me.
I wanna see pics too.
Tim, you have your priorities right and honestly...you are a fuckin lemonade stand. I admire your drive to do the right thing
and never waiver. Killer qualities.
Love the color.
A darker shade like that is perfect for a sleeper sedan, IMO.
For me it'd be an E63, but Lunar Blue would be my first MB choice, with silver being 2nd.
Just picked up this little '17 Hyundai Veloster for my daughter yesterday. Cool little car. 87k miles. "Value Edition" with a ton of upgrades. Got them to throw in a new windshield, new wiper blades, and new tires all for $10,491.
That's a perfect first car for a teenager. Slow enough to not get in trouble and small enough that they can't cart around friends and/or do bad shit in the back.
