Brave man in a bmw.

Major vids wiv quick mafs and gloves as standard of course @imprezaworks What else.

So have they offered a fix for the engine or just old for new and potentially more problems down the road.?

I thought you were getting made redundant because brexit.? Lovely car BTW...

Flol this has gone way off topic. I actually like the original car, the E46 cab, my exception was wondering why people drive around with the roof down when its very cold.It just doesn't make sense to me but hey ho The end Now weve got Muslim minorities and LBGT people being brought into the fold...

erm ok.

I’ve just noticed your avatar so I’m not surprised lol

It would be the same reaction if M3/4's started exploding. Its a premium flagship model so they are going to have to tread carefully.

Cheers @Dan that's a pretty bad problem I think for a new car.

Anyone know a rough figure of how many cars are affected so far.

Im sure its a wonderful feeling but it just looks stupid and a little "Look at me" Its one of those things where im sure im not the only one.

Yep they go for anything between £4-700 https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shadowline-HARDTOP-for-BMW-E46-Convertible-M3-Excellent-condition/173015055967?hash=item2848803e5f:g:fsEAAOSwg8taJSpc

Ive always liked the look of an E46 cab. Very nice indeed. Please don't turn into one of those fcuking pellets that drive around with the roof down because the suns out in December, even though its only 4 deg...lol

What were your questions @MarkCup and what didn't you like about the response. Also how will you know the engines properly fixed when as said above some people are on their 3rd engine. That's pretty pants for a modern engine.

The data logger would be good on the new engine in case it happened again. Also it would be good as ford say oh not again it must be your driving. And you say "Ahem" data logger mother f*****s.

With gloves and quick mafs.

I think if he goes down the route of giving the car back he must try one. Just for comparison and from what I read they are very closely matched. Maybe he could even try a VWR just to tell us all what its like between them all.

Isnt the new Type R a bit of a track weapon itself.?

I just think its a bit like driving an old Subaru or evo when they first came out.

New Type R is lovely, its a bit shouty and in your face but I like it. https://www.carwow.co.uk/honda/civic-type-r-2017

How do ford get out of this unscathed I wonder . Also will heads roll at ford over this, was this problem foreseen and someone thought "nah, fcuk it" and just carried on or was there no way this problem could have been spotted.

Im pretty sure shmee gave up his job banking in London to do his youtube channel. Just shows the money in it.

Only 5% or so by your reckoning is whats affected isn't it.? I could understand a 50% failure rate being an issue but 5% isn't that bad. And I did chuckle at incontinent lol.

Nah its a ford, your car will hold good money but a 5 yr old 2k car will have ford scene tax by then and be worth more to the anoraks.

probably wouldn't be allowed to do that, its not like its a week old.

At least your getting it done now. Just think of some ford nut who puts 2k a year on his beloved car only to find out in year 5 he has a 6k bill coming his way out of warranty.

Unlucky @MarkCup but like you say you'll have brand new everything to get on with. I'd be interested to know the cost if there's an invoice you can get hold of for the engine because back in the day I used to know a mechanic who used to buy "crate" engines from ford and I always remember a new...

Good luck with the resto, I hope it doesn't throw up to many problems.

I hope they don't send you home with it.

All I could see in that pic is the cossie, is it yours @Jason_E its a lovely thing.
