hey all
Well, @ 2 weeks ago i wrote a post about My buddy redlining my e36 325is, when i drove home that night it over heated.. I thought i was going to have to replace the engine.. I had it towed over to eastside Bavarian, cool local shop, the two owners are hella cool, (have taken my e30 and e36 there a few times One owner is the previous lead tech from Bellevue BMW the other owner is from a 1st class shop called Strictly BMW... anyway they looked through my car (no charge) and found that the Water pump spun itself to death when the RPMs were redlined, so instead of replacing the engine (thought there would be internal damage due to the heat) i need to replace the radiator, thermostat and Water pump, parts tax and labor 771.82 (they are also giving me a small discount) so seven hundred dollars is much better than approx 4k
So this thursday i get my e36 back! happy days!! although I have been driving my E30 that i have been trying to sell while the e36 was in the shop, now i kinda want to keep the e30 and put a m50 in it
but what ever that is too much money, know anyone who wants an E30 for a good price? let me know lol
Thanks
