Best thing you could have done. That blue car is mint. Crazy destruction of that engine! It looks like it's detonated 😂
@skodakatie734110 ай бұрын
The blue one looks a much nicer example. I totally agree with your decision Phil, the white one is a totally unknown quantity, only the people who carried out the ‘repairs’, actually know the true condition of this car. It could potentially be very dangerous, so it’s best to keep it off the road❤.

These engines aren’t known for their reliability, and they clatter like a diesel , I had a 2012 328i , it was a stunning high spec car that I didn’t have for very long and wasn’t very old or have many miles I think 3yrs old and 30k , it started to smoke and chain clatter , I took it back to bmw , and eventually they decided to buy it back , they told me the engine was knackered combination of the timing chain and oil pump chain tensioner failure and subsequent turbo failure , when the engine was running right it was powerful and that zf 8 speed was brilliant

I have changed engines and rebuilt different projects through my life changed an 1800 focus standard into an ST 170 engine gearbox wiring loom as lot of people. Don’t realise how long it takes to change an engine. It looks very quick when you put it on camera, but it is a lot of work, you do very well

I think you have made the best of the situation and when you are not happy putting your name to something then trust your gut instinct!! The parts that are left in the car should cover and hopefully make a profit to get out of the situation which is always a learning experience every car you do!! Stay safe and see you on the next one soon
