GF's e83
Thanks to the many threads we were able to find a solid trouble free e83 for her, and just finished picking it up.
Sorry for the single pic, but didn't have a chance to shoot more as I had to get to work. It's not super loaded, just sport and premium packages and heated seats, but it doesn't have xdrive issues or pano issues, and has a solid 2.5/steptronic driveline.

Also I found the complete manuals set in the glove box. Even the CD-ROM and the Key tabs. If anyone needs pics of any of it, let me know. I'll try to scan them in later this week, since some aren't available online.

No big plans other than to keep it in good knick, it has 140k but you'd never know it. This thing was very well maintained, the most solid e83 I've ever driven. Only needs the a pillars redone, and the windscreen grommet replaced.
All maintenance is already up to date, engine bay is uber clean and leak free (I just jinxed myself didn't I?) One thing I'm trying to figure out is why the sunroof cover closes a couple inches, stops, closes stops etc. tried the old hold the button up 30+ seconds to reset but still the same. |

Well, all the niggles are ironed out, finally realized I was starting the reset but not completing it bc I wasn't holding the buttons long enough, got the windscreen trim replaced, got the PO's cd out of the CD player, and installed an aux input to the rear power port as requested.
Up next will be headlight buffing, and possibly coding the TCU to do Bluetooth and a few other things I want turned on, seat memory with keys, window and sunroof close from remote, alarm so at least the light blinks and if possible some kind of visual confirmation of lock unlock, also if possible remember last state on the fogs so I don't have to turn them on manually every time, stuff like that. |

Gfs e83 is all done except someone replaced one of the rear shadow line window trims with chrome line for an unknown reason, so I have to order one Monday from dealership so I can correct that.
Other issue is I can't do the coding I wanted because the FedEx guy decided to mark the my eBay laptop as delivered today but not actually show up with it. Guess he needed an old Dell 610 with ncsexpert, dis, progman etc and the cable worse than I did. |
