:( That sucks. I guess that's the price you have to pay for owning a pre-owned car. Also it is a pretty old one too.

 

I hope you get it fixed fast though! I'm aching for a new video or some new pics! :)

well i got a call from the dealer yester day and they found out what broke.

 

its the hydro pump for the gearbox.

 

the repair cost are around €3750,-

 

so im not happy at the moment

Woah!!!!!!!!!! That's insane. Unlucky :( What are you going to do?

 

well since i am very good customer at the BMW dealer they decided to give me a bussiness price and lowered labour costs. also i dont have to pay the taxes since i have two companies :D

 

but still i'd have to pay about €2000,-

i love the car even more now.

 

as because i am a salesman this car goes for sale. i feel bad for seeing it go but i really love the car

 

expect more pics to come

Anything planned for a replacement (like you mentioned earlier)? Sorry you have to see it go. :(

 

Was the transmission the only issue? I see a few E36 M3s around all year, and thought they were strong cars. It seems the SMG is definitely a problem, especially at typical mileage, but did anything else break?

well the gearbox is good i love the way it works BUT its the SMG pump that is weak and fragile.

 

the broken pump was my fault i was late with replacing the bad battery which resulted in having to jump start it, which broke the pump.

 

but its fixed i drove it around since we had some good days here.

 

i have a new video showing off the LAUNCH CONTROL.

 

 

and i had a buyer which was interested for trade and he had a Green BMW M3 E36 GT Coupe

i believe it was No.143

 

lovely car but he backed out though.

 

i have another buyer who also wants to trade with his E39 525i.

 

its a 2002 model with less than 100.000km on the meter. the car has been kept pretty good so i recon i should do it ;)

Aww it's going already? I don't think you'll have much trouble selling it though, the E36 is popular amongst "youths."

 

yeah i do hope the car will be kept well and wont be raped by some 18 year old ......

im sorry for the car maybe i shouldnt have sold it to the guy

 

 

anyway i might upload a new video in where i use the Launch Control at full speed (0-160kph)

 

but for now this is the complete update

 

i was kinda pissed at the guy for ruining it right after he bought it from me ...>.>

It actually doesn't look all that bad. I'm sure, if worst comes to worst, that all the front end panels will have to be replaced. It looks like some of those parts can be repaired though.

 

yeah i know but you see the car was a Collectors iten the wa i had it.

 

but since it has damage it wont be the original car. (its hard to explain i know)

 

also it makes me sad to see how people treat iconic cars like this....

 

if the car was a but more reliable then i would never have sold it
