Engine + Driveline / M42 issue

« on: August 13, 2010, 05:44:14 PM »

after selling my 318is for more than i thought it was worth i realized i missed the heck out of it and have been searching for one that is not beat or rusted out or modded beyond recognition.  i've been looking for awhile but was wondering is there a mileage point at which to buy where the "profile gasket" issue would not be an issue.  i mean where the problem would have already been addressed or the car was not worthy?   100K?   i've seen a low mileage one but don't know if i should factor in the profile gasket fix as well.  thanks in advance.

i know you do and i have looked at it alot.  i have even contacted you and was trying to work out a plan with you to bring it here and have my mechanic look at it and then buy it and me drive you back home, or leave my car at your place and drive it to my mechanic and return to either buy or return your car.  things just died at that point.

i had and loved driving a 318is but sold it for what i thought was alot.  a week later i realized i missed it more than i thought.  i've been trying to replace it ever since.  mine was low mileage and in excellent condition both in and out.  i took it to a independent bmw mechanic who was as anal as i was about preventative maintenance and had the suspension replaced and new exhaust and on and on.  
bottom line is that i will pay a premium price for a premium 418is with M42.  all i am finding is either high mileage, or modded beyond recognition, or beat.  
if anyone has one they wish to sell or know of one or see one please let me know.  
thanks

i live in southeast pa and if we can find a way to have my independent mechanic give it a ppi i am sure we can work something out that you will be satisfied with.  any ideas?  i was also wondering if the on board computer with the green and yellow and red lights still work.   thanks
