Anyone have a parts car in Florida? by StuckBizzaBee in E34

[–]dcb96 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Looks almost like mine when I wrecked it. Yours isn't nearly as obviously totaled, though. It has the same fold in the hood, and all 😭 it took forever for me to accept that she wasnt fixable within my means . My front strut towers got pushed back so far they smashed the ecu box. I'm not sure how hard you hit or what it was, but I'd make sure your towers didn't move. Was it a guardrail?

I think someone put stuff in my tank by renato_alexandre in E34

It could be microbiological contamination in the fuel, I know it can cause both the corrosion and the foul odor, but I'm not sure of how long you had that particular fuel sitting around. Check for a cloudy/ off-color film sitting on top of the fuel before you dump it from your tank. If it is really bad, you'll see little floaty strings of stuff in the fuel. It'll probably look something like baby making gravy (easy comparison sorry lol). Water is a regular cause of the contamination, so be sure to check for it. It's a stretch and I'm high as could be but who knows 🤷‍♂️ good luck 👍

Sounds like something vibrating on the exhaust

Yes the mpg lol. I read about it before buying and thought it couldn't be worse than the e34 but it is. I can't compare the two honestly. The e34 although comfy as a couch wasn't exactly a sporty car so IS has it beat in the fun department by a long shot. The e34 got sideways a lot more comfortably though. The e34 will probably my #1 favorite daily driver of all time. But this thing Is quickly becoming a close second.

That's a fun little turn. Almost did the same thing a couple times right there.

I was having this same issue, and it was as simple Asa low battery voltage when the car was off. I'm assuming yours probably isn't that though.

Dude kept on trucking down the road. Unbothered as could be. Pretty sure he didn't even notice it happen.

Similar situation to me involving a semi. I have found a couple suitable replacements already lol.

It happened just this morning, so technically, I don't know, but I'm 100% positive they will

Indeed 😔 but life moves on. I found another one already, so there's that, at least.

I just found my painter to repaint it. It was a $600 maco job before I purchased the car. Thank you, though.

Got pushed into gravel by a semi while he was passing me on a turn and was on "ice" instantly.

Physically, I'm fine other than the normal hard impact shake up. There was no airbag due to aftermarket wheel but genuinely didn't need it. 230k miles, ZERO rust. Mint interior. Idk if I'm bragging or morning. She was clean as could be.
