I remember reading about this on here before but can't seem to find the post . Currently looking for a run around. What was the problem with the blocks/liners ? is it only on certain models and also is it date specific?

Any other suggestions for a grown up car that is "drive and forget", can be left anywhere etc but also not boring/gay..............preferably German i think.

Only other thing i can come up with is an E39 V8 4.4i

 

Good site.

Bit of an anorak it seems, but informative i suppose!

 

e36 and e34 are the main cars effect

M60 and M54 (early) engines.

If the engine is running badly (down on power, hard to start, missing on idle) it could well be bore wear.

Its not cheap to fix.

E39 for example didn't suffer (in the main).

Andy - my mate is selling his E36 323i, black coupe, tan leather, climate, 18" alloys. He only wants 2500 for it.

PM me and i will give you his number or come round and we can go view it.

 

cheers for all the info lads

will give you a bell later on tonight Ran

 

what reg?

It could be troubled

 

P reg - he has had the car for a few years now and never has had any major problems with it. The only worst issue he had that I can remember is from a few years ago when his rad sprang a leak and we could follow him up the road from the trail of water

 

I read on here the other day that some of the V8's had trouble with the back 2 pistions melting or something? is this true?
