I removed my auto "chip" from my cars ECU. Video for that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-LprnPleB02E.html&ab_channel=QuinnClark And then to get it started I just jumped two wires on one of the connectors in the center console area, video for that: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-groXTyeHWqg.html&ab_channel=QuinnClark
Hey man I’m buying a automatic e36 m3 in amazing condition. Exterior and interior are actually mint. It’s had a head gasket replacement, head rebuild, and brand new transmission. Do you think it’s worth it to swap? For around 12k. It’s a 4 door black on black ‘98 with sunroof. Also what upgrades or things do you think I can expect to fix on it
Hey man, if it's a low-mileage, very clean example in automatic form, it's probably worth 10-12k, especially with the work that's been done to it. 100% worth it to swap! If you have documented proof the automatic transmission is brand new, you could make a few grand selling it on eBay. When it comes to things you can expect to fix, if it hasn't already been done, the cooling system, intake hoses, suspension (shocks, struts, bushings, ball joints)-when it comes to upgrades, I definitely recommend some good bushings, shock tower reinforcements, and maybe a good set of coils. A swap is a great chance to upgrade the shifting mechanism! Dssr, Dinan short shifter, replace all the bushings in the shifter assembly; you also should replace the detents in the manual transmission you'd swap into it. I wish I had replaced the detents on mine; that combo will make your e36 shift better than new! Good luck, man. Definitely purchase it. The last thing I'll say is to make sure you have documented proof of all the services done to it and that you get a mechanic inspection prior to purchase. Good luck!
The trans will never perfectly sit on the motor after re-installation, you just need it seated somewhat then you can use the bell-housing bolts to secure it on completely.
