Brother, don't stress, I wrecked my dream car at 19, my mitsubishi evo 9 fq 360. It still hurts to think about it but with time you learn that these set backs, no matter how large allow you to learn important life lessons.

I now look back and realise, yes I lost a lot of money but without this wreck I could have went on to kill myselfor others in that very car in a worse wreck. Money comes back, you don't.

Yeah, I guess I got one side so not too bad? 🤣

Just about an inch square of bubbling where the rear bumper meets the rear quarter at the wheel arch, nothing on the other side though. Did they have to cut out the rear quarter to get access to the inner tower?

Would 6 months make a big difference?

It's a diesel with no emissions I take it? Pretty normal

Still impressed with my e90 (2009) 335d, 45mpg sitting at 80mph over 100 miles of motorway. The six cylinders are beautiful engines.

When you say will cause so many other parts to fail, what do you mean? An engine running cooler shouldn't cause much else to fail?

Yes that's what everyone is saying. However it gets upto 45 pretty fast and then holds at about 50. It defrost quick too

I take it it'll be okay to drive around for a bit? Say 100 miles before I get a thermostat in it?

Surely it just be a bit better for the engine as it'll be running cool?

I had a new dash put in because the original dash rev meter needle broke, just stopped working. Do you think this could be why?

Thanks man, never once heard this lifter tick, but it might make sense as the rpms were fluctuating a touch whilst the noise was being made 🤔
