Great attempt at the grammar :bravo:

Don't break the dyno with your M323i now

I wasn't actually going to respond to this brainiac :roflol:

I'd swear this guy had a 335i, the way he's going on about his fake M pedigree.. Let's see what his numbers are on the dyno, I'm expecting at least 150wkw after all the money he spent and his big mouth about preferring an entry level 6 pot to the last number, e46 :biglol:

Lmao. This ou is saying he prefers an e90 323i over an E46 330i?:roflol:

:jack:

Common sense and logic can't really be taught, at least that's the way it appears from some/all of the comments from this uneducated soul.. Bringing his knife to a gun fight :roflol: makes me wish I kept the 335i..

But then the bank took ownership of their possession? What else can explain going from a 2010 335i to a 2003 330i ?

Talk about logic but what could be the logic behind that?

You weren't going to respond but yet the keybord ninja within you jaaast had to!

Please note the word FAKE infront of pedigree . . . and you might note: i dont need my car or EX car (apparently in this case) to make up for what I lack.

Nowhere was the point mentioning the dyno aimed at numbers, rather kindness from another human being. Guess your ego was in the way of realizing that?

Trolling = when i say i prefer a 323i over a 330i and you actually respond to that? Triggered much?

Question: why is everyone upset if Wayne makes his own decisions regarding how he wants to spend his money? He thanked everyone a lot for the advice that was given (and it was good advice). But why the hostility towards him?

Then talks about breaking the dyno with his 323i and mocking the car because its an "entry level" 6 cylinder. :thumbdo:

Entry level 6 cylinder? I thought the entry level E90 was the 320i? Oh yes, i almost forgot, a thread was also created dissing all the E90 320i's out there.

Just out of curiosity please- there's been several people saying they replaced vanos solenoids. Did you use aftermarket solenoids or from BMW?
If you used aftermarket ones, which brand would you recommend and how reliable are they?

I've not had problems with these before but it's stuff worth knowing about.:eek:mgwaiting:

@Waynethelame, Your need to appear superior by means of a personal attack, on a topic you have no clue about, is testament to how low your IQ appears to be and now this thread makes some sense to me.. The simple fact that you can’t comprehend my actions, is not news to me since you’ve wasted both time and money fixing a well documented issue on that engine, after people had given you sage advice, which you could not follow through on. Before you attempt to come across as a smart alec, which I can assure you most people realize you aren’t, from simply reading through your thread, I would get the facts straight.. You’re digging yourself into a bigger, highly illogical hole, but whats new..? Whether your lack of comprehension and myriad of other mental issues comes from self-infliction or your poor genes, is beyond me and quite frankly doesn’t concern me past this point.

Please do not speak of what is lacking, the fact that you could not comprehend and carry out simple instructions to get your car fixed, indicates you have bigger problems, beyond the material. This entire thread is a sure fire way to show what happens when someone keeps their head up their ass, when advice is given.. Money, lots of money, purportedly, is lost, not to mention frustrating the people that actually tried to help you. I find myself with quite the paradox when it comes to you, do you have more money than brains..? If you had more money, you would have a 'better' (read: enthusiast’s) car, but if you had more brains, you wouldn’t waste money the way you have, in such a brainless fashion. Anyway this isn’t for me to solve so I shall leave it to someone with enough time to help you, perhaps a medical professional or maybe start another thread for advice..? How you function day to day, with your thinking (or lack thereof), beggars belief.

On to the reason I actually bothered to waste 10 minutes of my life, let me boil this down for your pea-brained self.. I owe you no justification but I figured this would be a good time to help educate people of your ilk, ie, those people that lack the ability to use common sense and reasoning. Thankfully my car was fully paid up before it was sold, so only the new owner took possession of MY old asset, sorry to disappoint you.. If you actively participated on the forum and brought some value, you would understand my logic of selling a depreciating asset in lieu of an appreciating asset (not sure if you get this point but for your ease of understanding, I sold one of my cars to buy another property – meaning I owned both, I didn’t move from one to other). The fact that you don’t understand the choice I made, makes zero difference to me, as it was made without you in mind. You are literally the last person on earth I would take financial advice from, again your thread explains why.

Here’s something for you to ponder on, chances are my 2003 330i will sell for more than your 2008 323i and that’s simply because one has a form of ‘pedigree’ and the other was made for people that wanted a 6 cylinder, but didn’t want to reach for more, but ultimately better variations of the 6 cylinder platform. My ego isn’t in the way of anything.. As you pointed out, I have an E46, by choice mind you. I was fortunate enough to be able to choose which car I would keep, if you don’t understand the e46, I get how the choice would look but I am not here to keep up appearances, clearly… What is in the way of me understanding your views is my severe lack of patience with stupidity, which you seem to have in abundance, hence my ‘keyboard ninja’ antics. Here’s my parting shot, spend less time ‘trolling’ and more time developing yourself mentally, there’s no one I know that needs it more than you, Wayne.. Sorry for the long read, I figure this will keep you busy, along with your other favourite hobby.

https://www.cars.co.za/for-sale/use...0i-Excl-e46fl-6sp-Gauteng-Roodepoort/4474647/

https://www.cars.co.za/for-sale/used/2010-BMW-3-Series-323i-Sport-e90-Gauteng-Benoni/4548775/

I latterly went and chose the first 2 examples that popped up on the good ol innerwebz, (note the K's on the E90 is skyhigh. )

Is your feelings hurt because i did not take your advice or that you couldnt comprehend that its not the root of the problem?

So lets recap . . . If i went to masterparts, order me some brand new solonoids, swopped them out, my car would have been running fine again right??

(still following? still on the same page? is the grammar still up to your standards to be able to follow?)

So if you are still with me . . .

After a couple of weeks or certain amount of K's it would have acted up again, because of the sludge and gunk in the oil and head.

Solonoids was my first go to culprit also, and again i appreciate the advice on that, but the dealers went to cam gears and if you take your head out of your behind you will see i asked if they are a know fault?

On which you (being the genius you are) did not answer? Another member did.

So again, thanks for the advice, but your comments was uncalled for and your advice only halfway in the ballpark (hence i ignored you). Maybe you learned something here? Or maybe not.

Nevertheless this thread could help someone AFTER REPLACING THE SOLONOIDS AND HAVING THE SAME ISSUE. All the best with the novel you are writing.

P.S: if a e46 was that good why did BMW not just stop there and never make a never model with better tech and efficiencies? Actually i have so many questions for you. . . So in your EXes signature you have two cars? Including your infamous 330i that makes 3 in total . . . Forgive me if i am mistaken and there is more but . . . I think i was 18 and had my third car. Not trying to bloat or take part in this "my pa se bakkie is grooter as jou pa sin" kinder garden argument you have going here buuuuuut if thats the case. . . i cannot take your knowledge and experience in petrolheadness things serious, so my bad for ignoring your advice, which i asked for, not the comments.

Everyone reading this thread will most probably sell all models of the brand and buy the 03 330i specifically or else your car is SHAART!

Your need to appear superior by means of a personal attack, on a topic you have no clue about, is testament to how low your IQ appears to be : says the dude who first commented with a personal attack.

Getting back to the point:
If from now on someone asks your advice on this. . . Please be the COCK you are and tell them to swop the solonoids BUT furthermore check for sludge and grime in the head, and if so, might as well swop the intake and exhaust cam gears. If the solonoids are working 100% and the cams are getting the oil pressure they need to lift the cams in order to advance the timing on higher RPM chances are the gear is so gunked up it wont lift, when it does lift it wont retard again on lower RPM.

You sir are welcome :blowheart:

You know exactly what is in my garage i take it. Must sell everything and buy that darn E46 330i so i can invest and be superior. Ill give the mistress a call asap and give her this great insight you have brought upon me.

It is a capital mistake to theorize before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

Maybe he can ask the workshop for his sludge back? You can retrofit it... Assuming his mechanic is still open and not on his new private yacht.
 
Wow, what a thread this turned out to be..

@KPM_330 my man, trying to explain why a E46 330i is more special than a E90 323i to an apparent idiot on a forum created for the BMW enthusiasts is lame.
Let this guy waste his own time and money and quite frankly his credibility as an enthusiast.

The guy was given good, solid advise but he chose to ignore it.

Yeah, thats straight up BS right there.. 7.5L/100km was probably when the mech pushed the car around inside the workshop

Initially I was not going to reply to this thread, as my advice would have been exactly the same as all the other FANATICS who tried to assist you...I have gone through this thread now, seen your pathetic replies and direct insults to members who actual contribute to this forum in a positive manner...This is the interwebs, but sometimes you have to learn (something you need to do a lot of...car related and in fact some basic English skills while you at it:thumbs:)

I'm going to break this down into sections, so that it is easier for you to comprehend:

Waynethelame said:
Conclusion:

Firstly - I , got , around , to , do some grammar revision.>{ / and must say:,. this. Helps, a lot , when, i am tjooning some1 ON the interwbz, . ; \[ only ] looking for advice,./

WTF is this? Members are trying to assist you...you are still a NOOB here, take the advice or comments and reply in a positive manner!

Waynethelame said:
(Yes, we do exist, Yes, we prefer a E90 323I M-sport with its fake ///M pedigree over a E46 330I)

Triggered:skit:...I am Willing to bet my own 330i that no Fanatic will choose an e90 Pre-Lci 323i over an e46 330i ...There is a reason for this and it is well documented across various platforms on the internet...As a so called BMWfanatic ...Do yourself a favour and read up on this.

Waynethelame said:
Old cam gears and solonoids was shown to me on collection. They were thrashed with gunk and sludge.

Bud, in your opening post...you mentioned the oil was changed three times when the tappet cover was being changed...if there was "Gunk and Sludge" , surely it would have shown?...I'm actually scared to see what condition the engine internals are in.

According to your posts...SIX oil changes in 2 months...I dont even fill Fuel that often:hammerhead:

Please note the word FAKE infront of pedigree . . . and you might note: i dont need my car or EX car (apparently in this case) to make up for what I lack.

Seriously? Internet etiquette? No?

Seriously? you compare a non msport e46 330i (which is not what KPM drives) to a LCI 323i (which is not what you drive)...if you searched properly, you will find plenty 2008 e90 pre lci 323i on gumtree in the R90k region...which is coincidentally the same price of the non msport 330i you referenced above...You basically shot yourself in the foot here bud:withStu:

Also, good luck finding a manual msport e46 330i...some guys search for over a year trying to find one.

Waynethelame said:

Well excuse us for assuming your car was serviced in the last 6 years since MP expired (assuming the car even had the full 5 years of plan)

You dont need to own every car in the world to have some mechanical know how...if you actually read some of the members threads, you will quickly realise that all who have replied on this thread have more experience than you...

also, no one said the e46 330i is the best bmw...but its definitely more sort after than a prelci 323i...no offence to your car...as a BMWfanatic...I appreciate all models, but make no mistake...the e46 330i is far superior than the 323i

@Waynethelame I hope you eventually learn something from this thread, and apply yourself better in future posts...Good Luck to you, We hope your 323i runs smoothly going forward:=):

NB. I was joking about betting my 330i:fencelook:

@K_S, If you don't get what makes him an idiot, I fear that that he is contagious..

Enthusiast: "A person who is very interested in a particular activity or subject.." Applied to this website, "BMWFanantics: The ultimate site for the S.A BMW enthusiast"

I would hazard a guess that this being a BMW enthusiast site would mean someone has an appreciation for all BMW's, including older models and would also mean one is open to learning about BMW's - since they are registered and active on the site.. Basically not being a stubborn, ignorant and unlearned tw@.. :=):

This is so wrong. Newer has to be better!

Based on this logic, how much can I get an e46 CSL for?
