For Sale / Race Skids Brand Skid Plate FS

« on: August 07, 2014, 04:05:25 PM »

Bought used from a member here back when I had an m42. Had it on my car only breifly then I sold it. Kept it around in case I decided to buy another m42 but the evil ways of the straight 6 have corrupted me nowdays. They go for $205 plus shipping new. This one has a couple scratches as you cannot see since I'm having issues with my file size, but I'm asking $90 shipped. It is not bent or significantly damaged in any way and includes hardware. Thank you

Yeah, just out of curiosity, has anyone else had a chip foul their plug?

So I went out and popped the hood today and turns out it wasn't the o2 sensor or AFM. One of my cylinders wasn't firing. Went and put a new spark plug in it and now it's running better than ever! Could the chip have fouled the plug?

Hey, I was going to get a shipping price quoted but today a guy responded to my craigslist ad and bought the front bumper and valance locally. Sorry, do you still want the lip? Also, things have been added to the original post and it's been updated. Thanks

I have heard this about ebay chips. I will say though that when the ebay chip was in there I did seem to notice smoother response at higher rpm and it was faster to get to the high rpms as well so I don't think it was complete garbage. Yeah I see where I said that now. Sorry, I meant to say that I just put the ecu back in. I have thought about the o2 sensor being a culprit. Who knows how old it is haha. Excuse my ignorance again, but would the o2 sensor off the 325 work or should I just try cleaning mine? The AFM has never been messed with to my knowledge and I have never unplugged it. I am back to the stock chip now and have been for a while. I'll check the AFM and then O2 sensor like you recommend. Thanks! Nolan

I have a 91 318ic. The motor is original to the car. The chip was an ebay chip. I didn't switch my ECU, just put the chip in it. The # is 175. I do have a 318 but you never know, oftentimes different model cars have interchangeable parts and before I went and spent money on a part it's worth a shot just to ask if the one I have in my backyard would work. Sorry I'm not as knowledgeable as you. I didn't think my information was "wishy washy". I've told you what I know. If I knew what was going on I wouldn't be asking for help. I'm located in Louisville, KY. I know a lot of the BMW guys around town and have been to local meets but most of those guys deal with 325's if they are into e30.

Thanks. I'll try that. If I do end up swapping will one off a 325is work? I've got a parts one out back I could take one off of. And I put some fuel system cleaner in it the other day and it seemed to have helped a bit. My gas mileage has been HORRIBLE though ever since these problems arose.

I got the bumper and valance (or facia) all taken off today. I'll let you know as soon as I know how much it will cost to ship the lip and facia. Still have all the stuff listed above... Grills, seats, bumpers. Also, a set of valance brake ducts, side markers, turn signal lenses.

Okay. I'll try and remove the valance or facia and the lip tomorrow. Valances online are seeming to cost about $70 for shipping so the rough total cost is looking like $170 at this point. If you want once I get them off I can take them to usps or ups or wherever and see how much it will cost before you paypal me.

I did a stomp test and first came up with 1444. I've heard that's the no error found message. I turned it off and did it again and got 1241, air mass sensor. I consistently get 1241 now. Where is my air mass sensor? How should I go about cleaning it etc? I've read on other forums you use electrical contact cleaner.
