Got the 3 series back last night after having works done to get it though its MOT. Have got to say that it looks like a different motor since changing the wheels and loweing it. Fitted an M3 steering wheel as well that makes a difference. Theres still a lot to do but tell me what you's think?

Cheers fella, its appreciated. Been grafting on her, but loved every minute of it. Still got a bit to do but getting there. Like it tight as possible, saves it getting hit. Sideway into a post don't sound good? I bet i can guess who the winner was there!

Yep same car but before all the mods were done :( and yeah was lucky it didnt go front first (it went backwards) into the telegraph pole instead,that woulda been a lot worse damage wise :( lesson learnt !!

      3.0i starter motor

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.
