BikealarmBlair's V8 Powered E46 BMW

Thanks guys 😀
I've had it almost 3 years with my new job and life I just don't have the time to tinker with it. I'm selling everything I own to try & get back on the property ladder.
Cars like this are impossible to value!

Blair,

Could you give us some details about the crank being out of balance?

+1

If it was the crank, would you not expect it to be very noticeable at higher rpm?

So, perhaps it's not as big a worry as the advert makes out?

I'd have thought that was putting a lot of people off and maybe it shouldn't need to...

It's not a big deal. When I replaced the crank last year I replaced it with one off the shelf I didn't realise that the rotating assembly should be balanced as one (hindsight hey!)& never noticed the issue until I changed to stiffer engine mounts.
It won't get any better or worse, between 1-2000rpm it feels a little lumpy like it has a little misfire, I guess most wouldn't notice it & presume its a feature of the engine but I know it's there so have to mention it.

Glad your enjoying it, must have been the test drive that sold it to you

To quote Ford " it may be your car but it's my baby" look after it.
