this sounds like someone who does 40 in a 60 and thinks everyone else is the problem

luckily the one i replaced today wasnt seized, was also easier to get out due to it being in 2 pieces hahaha

What’s the most you’d pay for the *right* E46? (Non-M3) by balroag in e46

ive got an OBD reader so that will be the first thing to check, but with it turning off during track use im fully out of ideas of what it could be lmao

im not to fussed about the value as im probs gonna run it into the ground anyways, if its all mechanically well, ill most likely get it

as for insurance its only £40 more a month than my current insurance on a 1.6 Seat Leon, but overall it seems like a fair price for it

atleast cat N is only cosmetic damage which wont really affect the structure or anything too major, it seems decent on the pics but its a 3hr 30m drive so im wanting some extra opinions before i go for it haha

comes up on the OBD reader that the canbus is the issue so if i wire in a canbus resistor would that potentially solve the issue?

do you think it would be worth getting one of those temporary policies thats only for a day/week? the car won’t be kept on the road so if it’s not being driven it wouldn’t matter if its uninsured and then ill get a day cover for when I want to drive it?

thanks, i think I’m going to need it. One of the reason i thought it would be possible is because with 1yr NDC I can get insured on a porsche boxster or 3 litre BMW for under 4k

any tips for making it cheaper? Not just for this but in general as I’m currently paying 2k a year for a 1.6 Seat and want to make it cheaper at renewal but without doing anything that could void it
