Hehe yeah, I kind of keep to myself until I get to know people. Much of the time I was sitting there, I was changing my work schedule last minute.

So glad I went.

Welcome. Nice ride. My buddy just picked up a black 95 with 40K babied bone stock miles. Lovely indeed.

Fellow Bimmer Welcome

Hey beautiful car, although I am miffed at the Bav Auto employee that pulled a fast one on you thats kinda lame!!!

I was in the Motego Blue 335XI coupe, I just moved to Goffstown and would love to get together some time that goes for all local ppl.

I Just moved into a brand new house here and have a garage if you need a place to do some work.

P.S I am 99% sure I got a nice pic of your car parked on the grass at lunch time???

To be clear it was a Turner Motorsports former employee. I don't really blame him. Live and learn.

Cool, I'd deff like to meet more locals as time goes on.

Yes, that was me on the grass. I was trying to stay out of the way.

If the pic came out good I'd love to see it!

@ SMC... Yes, that was the car

@ Boosted... Yes, that is me and my car.

The car belonged to a Turner employee. I bought it as a project car, knowing it needed work. When I test drove it, there was a very slight knocking coming from the engine. During the pre-purchase inspection I was told that some M3 engines just run noisy and to keep an eye (ear) on it.

After purchase, some other M3 owners noticed that my M3 seemed to have less get up and go than theirs. I paid it little attention. After the first oil change, the engine knock got significantly louder. Eventually what we discovered was that the car was tracked with race fuel and that the thickness of the oil used was masking the sound.

The end of a spak plug had been broken off and what didn't burn up rolled around inside and gouged the walls. The issue is that one cylinder has a compression of about 60 while the others are over 100.

The plan is to either save up for a Metric Mechanic engine or get a decent used. Until that time I drive it and cross my fingers.

That sucks... you say anything to the guy you bought it from?

Does it have the TMS set up on it??

[The Ronin]

Yes, I told the prior owner of the issues with the car and he pretty much said "it was fine for me".

The car has no engine mods only suspension and exhaust. I have now come to believe when the time came for engine work an issue was noticed so up for sale it went.

I'll post in "photos" and "your car" with mod list.

Edit: Can someone suggest a pic hosting site? Flickr isn't letting me insert images here.

Photobucket.com a lot of people use

Wow that sucks.. that is such a ass hole thing to do. Hope it works out for you. I was hoping you were going to say you didn't have an exhaust cause I have a hole OBD2 set up with ANSA Exhaust. Makes it a true Dual Exhaust just have to block the extra O2 sensor ports.

Many thanks for the warm welcome all.

Here is my entry to "your car"...
