Hello,
I just bought a '91 850i automatic at govt auction (drug seizure) , car was obviously sold as is so it was a gamble and now i feel like a looser.
First of all the car is cosmetically stunning, 19" ac schnitzers w/ new p zeros, perfect paint, perfect body, super nice int.
Mechanically though thast is a different story.
I've noticed several things during my 200 mile drive back home...
1. car is bucking / misfiring at around 2200 rpms @ 60mph
2. ocassionally when stopped, car is surging and smoking like a locomotive
and engine light comes on (very sporadic)
3. sometimes car smells like it is running rich and sometimes like it is burning oil
4. battery will not stay charged possibly due to DK motors? throttle motors?
anyways I'm desperate because I don't know whether to invest more $$ or just sell it as is. ofcourse there is maint recs or service history. any help will be apreciated, thanks mike
