<![CDATA[E39 M5]]>I was down in Arkansas for work, browsing craigslist when I found something I had to have haha. 12.5hrs on the uhaul later and it's looking pretty in my garage! Will add more details when I get the chance.

I think I'm happy with mine though, cheaper, clean title, not torn apart, buuuut SMG and no engine haha.

...also, I just bought an e46 M3 that needs a new engine, options? I'm thinking I'm just going to put a new engine in it and try to flip it but it would make for a fun |<. <|  |>.>| racecar. I don't have any pictures but it's stock and black, you get the idea:

I'm thinking it's vanos related on bank 1, probably the solenoids. Anyway I got to drive it around briefly last weekend. Blew a tire then put on some new pilot super sports. This car is a beast haha. 

P.S. There was no handicap sign and the paint was really faded, honest mistake lol.

I'm hoping I get a misfire code tonight telling me at least what side to look at. Then maybe swap cam sensor/maf and see if the problem follows.

How about your MAFs?  Those like to wear out as well.

It threw a code yesterday, I'll borrow my coworkers reader tonight and see what it is. I pulled the plugs last night and they looked okay, none of them looked really black or wet.

Cam timing NOT changing under load and not jiving with the fuel and timing maps is the first thing that comes to my mind. Does it happen while revving in neutral?

I'm going to pull the plugs and see what they look like. Maybe the coils are bad? Shouldn't I be getting some codes from it going into limp mode?

Disappointment: something isnt right.

Did it run like this before all the work?

I drove straight to kwik trip to get some fresh gas, talking with the PO the gas was probably well over a year old. Fresh gas helped a lot but it went into limp mode and still misses under load. I'm pretty sure I fouled the plugs, but any other ideas? I ran the codes and it had the same ones as before I started working on it. Secondary air pump, coolant temp, and bank one over retarded. Coolant temp I'm sure was just the sensor, and over retarded was the lack of timing chain guide. I'm thinking plugs because just cruzing it's fine only under load is it missing, but maybe it's the injectors?

Hood is officially down! Just need to do stupid coolant things.
