So my car left me stranded out here during a weekend trip

All codes point to disa valve being broken but right now it’s at the local mechanic (Madison , va)

I’m from nyc so it probably won’t make sense to have it fixed and towed back here

Looking for $1000, really don’t want it to go to scrap

123k miles, 4K worth of parts replaces from fcp euro, all receipts can be provided

Was a very solid runner before this













In the last 2 yeArs:
- new radiator and hoses
- new valve cover gasket
- New Bridgestone Ecopia tires on all 4 corners + spare in the trunk
- New brake pads, fluid and rotors (Zimmermann/Akebono) all around
- Completely refresh suspension (shocks, mounts, struts) with BMW OE
- New tie rods
- New OE engine mounts and BMW m3 transmission mounts
- New NGK spark plugs
- New ignition coils
- New euro front lights and bulbs
- New Serpentine Belt, Belt Tensioner Assembly, Drive Belt Idler Pulley
- Manual transmission and rear differential fluid flush
- New cabin filter
- New intake filter

Mods - now for the fun bits:
- 3 stage intake
- m3 steering rack
- e93 m3 front sway bar and bushings
- MOMO Monte Carlo 350mm steering wheel
- BMS Short Throw Clutch Stop
- OEM muffler bypass
- 12mm & 20mm Wheel Spacers
- Bronze Clutch Pedal Bushing
- Mishimoto Silicone Intake Boot

Cons:
- slight engine tick, well known n52 quirk, but better to disclose
- abs dashboard light and yellow brake light is on, I think its a foggy clock spring sensor, but it keeps traction control OFF, so im ok with it
- scratches, dents and dings from being an nyc car, nothing major though
- 2 tears on driver seat
