Hi All,

Just purchased a 1998, 323i, silver, auto, convertible, on a personal plate via the bay.

Few problems to sort, rear wheel bearing on its way out, split drivers seat bolster, an arm on the hood is bent & removed, missing a spare wheel and drivers side cill trim.

Neglected inside so plenty to clean, hood material good so stain & proof, body good so polish, engine sounds good so oil & filters, fan & radiator look good so keep an eye on them.

Also have a 2001, 530d, silver, auto, saloon, sport so the vert is replacing a manual Saab vert for the sunny times, torrential rain here at the moment.

I'll be looking to be involved in the forum both to give as well as take, now too the parts for sale 'n' wanted sections!

Cheers

Boots

      650i crank no start

      Afternoon Hans Welcome to the Forum I would start with a Diagnostic Scan but then I do have ISTA/INPA on my lap top. Without it I would start by testing the sensors that will effect fuel and spark. Number one Crank position sensor if it is faulty no signal to the DME no signal to the injectors. While testing sensors Fuel Pressure sensor next, while the fuel rail is pressurised is it correct if the pressure sensor is dead the DME will assume no fuel present. Also carefully check the loom to injectors and coil packs not unknown for it to be damaged. Try a Google search for test parameters for the sensors. Also check engine earth straps Hope this helps Dave

      Suspension upgrade

      Morning Robin Welcome to the Forum By the sound of things you need a coil over kit for standard ride height with adjustable shocks. Playing with bump and rebound settings should allow a more supple ride, though wheels and tyres are a big part of the overall equation. Bilstien are a well established reliable name that has been around for years so if the kit has been developed for the car should be a good choice, lots of other kits out there with a wild price range but personally suspension tyres and brakes really are not worth cutting corners with.

      Suspension upgrade

      Hello all. I have a 2019 M Sport+ 440i. I am looking for suggestions to upgrade the suspension. I do not want it lower or stiffer. I am looking for more control, predictability and less harshness. At under 20k miles, there are no faults with the factory suspension, I believe it could be better. I don't drive the car hard, its more like fast touring. I am aware of the Bilstein system that Birds BMW have developed, does anyone have experience of this system? Any alternative suggestions would be appreciated.

      650i crank no start

      I recently purchased a 2008 650i with a crank no start problem. There is no spark or fuel. The fuel rail is pressurized but injectors are not firing. I replaced the ivm cause it will cause a similar no start but nothing changed. I checked relays but couldn't find one for fuel Injection or spark. I couldn't see codes cause my reader was having a hard time connect. But there was rpm when cranking so I assume the cps is fine. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Morning Rob Welcome to the Forum As with most cars in reasonable condition and with an MOT it is worth the market value, check the Auction sites and local adds. Without an MOT it is scrap value as it can't be driven some recyclers may even charge to collect it. Reading your post it seems like you have already made a decision. Personally I would fix it and sell it or maybe carry on using it but then I do all my own maintenance on our cars and its a hobby not a chore Dave
