Yeah, Guess ill have to get it engeneered.

I got till the 17th to get it engineered.

Im now waiting for a letter from the EPA to tell me what time i have to go for the first inspection to tell me what to do, and then for the final inspection.

Annoying as hell

nuh i got a chipped ECU. Cant tell a diff.

Should i get rid of the Turbo Timer too?

turbo timers arent illegal to have, the way you use it is what makes it illegal

it shouldnt be a problem, but if its easy enough to remove, you might as well do it to save hassles

Really, they opened up your ecu. If it wasnt mentioned on the EPA enfingement notice then they might not worry about it, they'll probally check that it has a stock loom and cover. Also for the hole you had to cut get some steel wire, like what is used to re-frunish chairs and couches(because it is very strong) and shape it to the hole you cut then spot weld it around the outside of the hole.The steel wire is about 5mm thick. This will give the metal the strength it needs. I know from experience. Oh and the turbo wont fly.

I managed to survive the Knox hole of hell the other week. It's like taking a drive to South America and hoping for the best!

If you want any further advice you should just ask r32big_boy.. he might as well work for the EPA.. I think he knows more than they do? :)

Some insane person was telling me a couple of weeks ago about how they ran from Pettett once.. craziest story I think I've ever heard :)

They really ought to give him a desk job before he causes a fatality with his illegal chases and what not.

    • Out here E90s are the cheapest way into a sporty-ish car because everyone knows just how expensive the repairs can get. 8-10k USD for an automatic 335i. 
    • Noted. Have noticed BMW are more 'high maintenance' for sure. They've attracted my attention as I think the used car prices seem reasonable vs other options, and the extra quality overall vs a commodore / camry / corolla or similar of the same vintage is appealing, especially the interior, and they are more on the sporty side whereas the others mentioned can be more cruising or economical A-to-B only.
    • Haha yeah I know, this is SAU after all, why are we talking about BMW's of all things!? I hear you on the 'don't have to worry about it' side of things. Having been fortunate enough to be have been able to buy a brand new motorbike or two...never really enjoyed them as much as I'd have liked as you worry so much about where you park it, will it get scratched, stolen, attempted theft, knocked over, etc...and yes dirty. Older less valuable bikes you can just go where you want and park it wherever and not really worry that much in comparison. And who cares if it gets dirty! Never owned a V8, and have had my eyes on VE / VF commodores for years but with their prices climbing so high, the M3 has come into focus more as prices are much closer than I've ever seen...is it a potential contender now?...of course need to factor in the S65 'maintenance' especially and like you said general M car 'tax'. One can dream anyway. But more on the reality front - did read the whole 330i thread as well and was a great read too, both threads enlightening as I've never even driven one of these cars! I do recall 330i didn't seem to have the same amount of issues for almost the same car (turbos and related differences notwithstanding)...perhaps down to getting it earlier in it's life so looked after better than the 335i? Perhaps so as your 130i has been good and quite similar, so finding a car that's been looked after well is the especially-crucial-BMW-first-step.
    • Nice. Dont worry about the time of not running. My current skyline hasn't run since I bought it. About 8 years ago.
    • It's also worth noting that I am heavily and unconditionally biased. I've had a lot of cars including some GTRs a fair while ago. I love my BMW's now a lot. They make no sense a lot of the time and the guys on here remind me regularly that I could get something else that does what I want better and cheaper. If you're going to take on an older BMW it's definitely a commitment. If you bail on it early you'll lose money and also the ability for it to put a smile on your face. Stick with it and it just gets better.  f**k I should get into advertising.
