So, what's wrong with the car?

[B Rod]

Need. Chapter. Four.

[Dr.AK]

Epic story!

Hope you guys make it okay and get the car running again!

What happened with the trailer? Did you just leave it somewhere?

[Exami]

Well after those difficulties when the trip is done you can have some nice memories..

You got some real badluck with your car.. what i know about M30 engines they are pretty much realiable seems different in hot countrys...

Good luck with the trip!

[JSanders]

I was gone for two days, I did not expect to come back and see all this bad luck. I hope its all coming back together!

chapter 4 plz.

[mojocoggo]

Cool story brahs, my car spent the day on a tow truck also.

[punkhop83]

Holy fuk doodz.. Dopest trip w/ the dopest ride. Dont worry about all them break downs. Its just gonna make u more closer to ur car...lol

Where tha trailer at?

[Digitalwave]

Thank god you are in an M30 and not an M50/M52/S50/S52, you would have warped the head on the first day of the trip.

[TheNeek]

The trailer is safe and sound in my backyard getting a good dose of dog piss.

I think the consensus is that the car is not overheating.

[Schieldrop]

Yeah, the M30 is pretty much rock solid. I drove my old M635CSi in Spain once, but the M88 (which is derived from the M30) never had these issues. So must be insanely hot where you guys are at.

A friend of mine drove his constantly overheating E34 535i with a big piece of dry-ice strapped to the front of the car. Emergency repair to get it to a mechanic, but cool "outside the box" idea though.

Not too sure yet. I tried calling you, left you a voicemail. Call me if you get a chance at all, I'd love to pick your brain and see if we're on the right track.

True, but fortunately we don't think any of what has happened has been true overheating.

The temp has never climbed, the coolant has never had any crazy pressure, It's been dandy... its just that the car would sputter and die out while driving after getting hot... letting it cool would allow us to drive a few more hours, until yesterday when it wouldn't really cool back down.

We think its the fuel pump getting fussy with the heat. It still has the original fuel pump in it. Just ordered a new one. Also replacing the cap and rotor, found some oil in mine.... just gonna "shotgun" the whole problem as Nic said.

[Chris@MemoryFab]

Damn.

This is so epic,
I'm just worried about the trailer now

[SWINFORD]

How did they tow the trailor?

[M.Burroughs]

The trailer is here at Nic's, safe and sound.

The truck towed it by me pulling everything off the trailer, filling the car with it all.
Then I flipped the trailer over, and then flipped the tongue over, and bolted it all back together.

Ta-da, normal height trailer.
