Whos the asshole if the owner of the car has done known illegal modifications

sounds like he was stating the obvious... it stands out.. he was saying it was shiny.. seems like that is the least of your worries now.

get the stuff swapped and fixed up and get a real roady (you said its very clean) and then put all the mods back or leave it legal.....or don't do it at all and part out the car/sell for cheap....

These are the chances you take when you modify your car, not a matter of you were driving well so you don't deserve to get caught.

lol, if your car was that legal/okay you wouldn't be seeking a dodgy roadworthy. No one does these anymore anyway...massive crackdown on it and harsh penalties for doing them.

Just raise the coils and swap out the shit that won't pass. Sucks he was rude to you straight up, but that's the culture some cops create and ruin it for the decent cops...just like a lot of import drivers give them lip when they get pulled over for actually doing something. Assholes all round...

Like someone said abovr, its VERY hard to get a dodgy rwc these days, people arnt willing to risk there license and a massive fine. Youll have to most likey bring it back to stock as much as that sucks.

yeaah i will have to bring it back to stock i did raise the coilovers and they said it wont pass with coilovers so i have to change it back to stock suspension, the reason why i wanted a dodgy is because i work 6 days a week so i havnt got time to change around the car then put it all back on ive had it for 2 and a half years and no problems as its only my weekend car, just so annoyed

      Odometer LCD is Intermittently Wonky

      By Duncan · Posted

      Hi mate, I have never had an issue with the odometer in mine (450,000+ klm now) and can't remember another post about it. Still, your description of the likely cause sounds spot on, so an electrics repair is probably the next stop.

      Cheers. I more want it quieter with the varex open. I only have the varex closed when i start up and roll out the driveway to keep everyone happy on days i take the car to work at 5 AM or come home late. So just a mod muffler will do tge trick? Something like that would require a retune hey?

      My BMW 335i

      By joshuaho96 · Posted

      I was going to say generally speaking if it's like 80k+ miles since the valve cover has been replaced you don't even attempt to just replace the gasket. The valve cover itself will likely be warped and it will continue to leak after replacement, just not as severely. The valve cover PCV diaphragm can also tear and create a major vacuum leak. Welcome to BMW life. My friend's 2006 330i was t-boned and totaled out so he also just got a 335i so I can add to this thread now.

      Odometer LCD is Intermittently Wonky

      By Kip · Posted

      Hi all, For my '98 260rs... The odometer LCD occasionally turns blank or gives me only the bottom half or top half of the numbers. It's intermittent, which leaves me to believe it's a dead solder or loose wire somewhere. The odometer itself works. When the screen comes back, kms have been added to the trip and overall meters. A couple questions: Is this a known issue with the Stagea? I didn't see it pop up in my quick search, but that could be my searching skills. How accessible is the LCD screen in the cluster? I'm hoping it's a remove and replace type situation versus cracking open the whole housing. I'm hoping you all can narrow some of my initial troubleshooting. Any experience or opinions would be helpful.

      Yeah. Seeing the finish line must be quite the motivation. Good on you for sticking with it. Understood about the model choice. Also, totally get the challenge with sourcing parts. Based on your handle, I'm just a few hours south of you. All the little things I've bought so far come with $30 shipping, even if it's just stickers for the boot!
