how much of an ass raping

Your going to buy a $500 beater just to put more money into it to keep it running. Just keep the BMW.
 
its high mileage, it leaks oil (they all fucking do)
stupid shit like the abs, traction control, brake light trifecta will pop up and the avg person would freak and think its broken (dirty left rear wheel sensor)

its eats front o2 sensors because of the chip and it'll pop the CEL

crap like that...

If the computer program is eating O2 sensors, it means that it's a shitty program and needs to get on a dunno and be analyzed.

The problem with "chips" are that they are a one-size fits all type of tune. Every engine in the same exact car doesn't operate exactly the same as far as synchronicity of fuel and ignition, valve timing, etc. They theoretically should be equal, but they are all slight in variance. They only proper way to tune an engine with aftermarket or specialized brand tuning, like schnitzer or Dinan for example, is to have each car tuned individually on a dyno with all the right tools to measure all the critical parameters.
 
yeah, it needs to be gone through for sure

I have a theory about how it was set up originally because of how it reacts to temp and humidity changes
I don't think the DISA was ever factored in correctly

I think someone set it up with a one size fits all scanner/laptop when it was done ...

OR the valve timing is at this point different because of wear and tear.

idk..I havent done too much to it myself
change fluids, an alternator and battery, replaced the front bumper, the os sensors, brakes...that sorta shit.

its a hell of a lot of fun to drive and incredibly reliable...always starts and goes. doesnt do anything freaky aside from the computer o2 shit once in a while. the o2 sensors literally take 10 minutes to change because they're the ones right on top next to the valve cover

the abs light trifecta is a pita but its dirty wheel sensors so basically I only bother to jack it up and take it apart when I get sick of the lights popping on.
