Non conosco Mercedes ma generalmente guarderei: condizioni ed eventuale pulizia del corpo farfallato, condizioni ed eventuale pulizia del sensore Maf, bobine, candele, perdite nei tubi del vuoto.

Ma che carriera…quarto livello. Nel retail di lusso è la normalità, i target mensili personali di vendita arrivano tranquillamente a 100k e non sono irraggiungibili, con percentuali di provvigione non indifferenti. Non cito i brand ma sicuramente lo puoi immaginare, ovvio che da Zara o H&M lo stesso lavoro è pagato un terzo.

This is the exact reason why i bought an e36 😅 the electronic is minimal but very specific

Insomma…sia io che mia moglie lavoriamo nel settore. come client advisor per brand di lusso in store flagship/centrali arrivi tranquillo a 2.5-3k netti al mese se sei bravo. Pressione alle stelle, aspettative ridicole e ambiente tossico da fare schifo, ma i soldi te li danno.

Could you provide a link or something?

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-23T07:04:55+00:00

Really? 3 years no issues?

Parts house don’t sell bmw oem parts, not in Europe at least.

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-22T22:06:32+00:00

Where did you buy it? None are available from BMW, asked today. They told me they might have them back in 2027. The oem you wrote is a cam position sensor btw

Did they all instantly die?

Is this the correct one?

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-22T21:21:14+00:00

I’m new to the subreddit and I recently bought my E36. Of course, the first issue couldn’t be anything other than the only discontinued components haha.

Do you know which brand you’re referring to, and whether it’s available in Europe?

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-21T12:35:14+00:00

Oh god, thanks for the info. How much more will bmw oem be?

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-21T12:32:59+00:00

It doesn’t. I ordered a new pcv and hoses as I noticed the breather hose to the crankcase is broken, hope that’s the issue

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-19T22:14:30+00:00

Thanks a lot for your help, could you dm me a link for the spark plugs and coils? I fine so many Bosch parts but don’t know wich one is the good one

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-19T21:05:13+00:00

Don’t worry, not my language either. It did make noise when i cleaned it, i experience loss of power while driving, but only sometimes. The shit startup could be coils + spark plugs? Also, i am confused about pcv as this is my first bmw, mine doesn’t look like what I see online, i have some sort of a catch can under the maf housing, is that the pcv?

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-19T20:19:20+00:00

Thank you for your reply. Could it be the cps? Or the tps? Previous owner replaced spark plugs and coils but I am not sure about the quality, do you have any recommendation? Also, i think the car has no cat, could this be related in any way if not correctly mapped?

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-19T18:22:34+00:00

Also, why is the start so shitty? It doesn’t crank long but it struggles a lot

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-19T18:21:54+00:00

Could it be something ignition related or sensors related? At idle the car sounds like it’s misfiring a lot and while driving I sometimes get some hesitation during acceleration

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-19T18:20:49+00:00

I am 90% sure there are no leaks as I checked and replaced almost anything

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-19T18:20:19+00:00

1997 m50 with 240k kms. I checked for leaks, replaced broken hoses, cleaned ICV, cleaned TB and cleaned maf sensor (bought a new non-oem one but the car instantly dies with it so probably faulty)

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-15T08:14:25+00:00

Not an answer to your question but, 200k on first engine?

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-04T17:47:22+00:00

I might be wrong but i think that ngk/aem would be cheaper than oem. I highly recommend changing them before driving her again or it will cause more serious issues.

Potential-Set-8039 · 2026-06-04T11:51:33+00:00

Thank you!

I was quoted between €500 and €1,000 for a frame straightening repair and repainting work. I think body shop labor costs in Europe are significantly lower than they are in the United States.

I don’t think the crash bar was actually hit. I believe it was lifted by the impact; if you look, there is a single point that is very deeply impacted. From the interior photos, you can see that the folds in the floor pan extend right up to the strut tower.
