drunk? robot? fcktards?

I mean I get if they continuing the convo to fraud you, but they simply not answering.



> yes I know, more and more people stating in their ads : ''if you send me a automatic reply, I dont answer you''

But I still wish there's some hope.

37 message for my ad (selling the a Cayenne), 100% of people sending me automatic reply, NEVER answered me back.
This is a solid stats.

And fun fact : only happen on general item : car , appliances. But not on specific parts like E90 parts, PC parts, etc.

No idea, I wish I could figure that one out.

How about they ask questions, negotiate a price, then ghost you when you ask “where are you located?” so you can find a safe place to meet?

My brother bought a 335d from a forum member a few weeks ago. Incredible car in every sense, Alpine white with saddle dakota interior, M-sport package, comfort access, cold weather package, premium package, etc.



I finally got the chance to drive it this past weekend and I love this thing, has me thinking of getting one for myself now. No manual like my 330 but as a sporty yet comfortable car to drive everywhere ever day this is excellent, close to 40MPG too! The emissions stuff is all intact except the EGR blockoff, and it's all working fine. I believe the DEF/SCR tank was already replaced under warranty at some point.

As for the subject of this post, I did some coding for him. Coded out the seatbelt warning chimes, idrive disclaimer, uncorrected speed on the KOMBI, foglights on with highbeams and low beams, disabled headlight washers, and a few other minor things. We also flashed the transmission with xHP and it significantly improved the driving experience. I'm definitely a MT person, but these ZF6 autos really aren't bad for an automatic.

I also drove the car a bunch. Going 55MPH stomping the gas pedal and breaking traction is fun.

Oh me too, believe me. My brother lives on the other coast and when I saw this car for sale I was drooling over it. BUT I already have TWO and can't justify another, so I told him to go look at it.

It turns out the seller lived less than an hour away from him. So glad it worked out, he's thrilled. The car is incredible, the color combo, and that freaking engine. I absolutely LOVE that engine in this chassis, the driving experience is unreal. I've always been a fan of diesels even the small economy ones, because I love that low RPM torque. This thing is more fun to drive than my 335i gasser. 335i is fast and fun to rev out, but this M57 is more my style.

I'm thinking about swapping my cars around to end up with a 335i E93 6MT and a E90 335d. Or keep my 335i and trade my 330i for a E90 335d and do a manual swap... but I love the N52/6MT combo, and the 330i is special.

I had no idea you could code out the pesky seat belt alarm. Also the fog lights with high beams. Do you need INPA/ISTA for that stuff?

Yeah, that color combo plus all the packages on it... just perfect!

Decisions, decisions, decisions...

I've been tempted by diesels, but they seem like every part that can break, breaks. The $$$ you save in fuel goes into maintenance!

I'm not afraid of parts, theyre fairly robust. BUT I never pursued one seriously in CA because of the emissions equipment. The SCR system and DEF tank is prone to failure and is around $3000 or more just for the parts. Same with the DPF. However his is running perfectly fine with all that stuff intact. Close friend of mine was offering to sell his to me as a favor for $9500 and it had 80K miles, but the emissions stuff was original and I didn't want an auto at the time. If I test drove that car it might have been a different story. It didn't have the m-sport package and didn't look as nice as this one either.

I sure love the idea of road-tripping in one... seems just perfect for that!
