The What's Wrong With Your Car Thread

[Byron]

Accidentally jumped it today, so probably quite a few things, lol. A transmission mount for sure, probably a motor mount.

radiator support
exhaust (perfect shape just sounds horrible)


As for the m30 car- too many things to list, but #1 being the engine sitting 3 feet in front of the car.

E28:
1) Needs valve adjustment
2) Driver seat it torn
3) Shakes at inconsistent speeds but mostly around 80mph
4) Brakes make it shake sometimes
5) 3rd grinds on down shifts if I don't ease it into gear.

E36:
1) Has the wrong engine in it

E30:
1) Is currently running on 5 cylinders
2) Leaks from a small coolant hose going to the throttle body(What is that? I haven't researched it)
3) Driver seat is broken
4) Sunroof crank handle doesn't stay of the roof.
5) Probably many others I haven't discovered.

shit, where to begin.

1. Auto tranny is going bad, electronic shift control light comes on quite often.
2. ABS light comes on, brakes work fine though?
3. Brake pad sensor light stays on, shop didn't hook them up right I guess
4. Brake light circuit fucks up every once in a while.
5. 1 brake light fail
6. Passenger window off track
7. Headliner coming down

thats all I can think of at the moment

[E36Bimmer93]

I've spent so damn much money on the car in the last year I shouldn't have a list...but I do:
Door panels need to be re-glued
Needs a repaint, and some dents removed
Some rust needs repaired (nothing too bad)
Radiator has a leak, but I bought an aluminum one I need to install
Steering wheel is worn out
Possible blown headgasket, but haven't got into checking that out yet. That gives me a good excuse for an S52 though, so I won't complain
Tranny sticks in 2nd sometimes
Drivers door weatherstripping is shot, but I have a replacemnt on the way
Somethings messed up with my sunroof

I guess that's about it
