OP OP! An article about our new project BMW F23 230i convertible.
Our acquaintance with this car began with a trip to MREO, since the car was purchased in Lvov and our regional manager Dima drove it to Kyiv. After arriving the next day, I went to MREO and re-registered the car as my name.
The car was purchased with a mileage of 169,741 km (09/11/2023)
How did we get to buying such a car?
One day I went to AUTO.RIA to see what was going on, I looked at the G30, G20, G42 for a project.
Then I decided to look at the 320/328d diesel and in the end I decided to look at the prices of cars with the B48 engine, in the end it turned out that there is a 230i convertible at a very sweet price,
but on the one hand, I thought that for the project the car is so-so because of the rear-wheel drive (we need all-wheel drive for measurements of 0-100 km/h), but on the other hand, this car can be used as a replacement car at our BMW Service. As a result, because of the price, we thought that we should bargain and shoot the project on Stage 3 since the topic was not fully covered on B48. We want 400+ horsepower from the car, and there is an idea to make the car all-wheel drive.
Defects of the car: technically, only the rear elastic coupling and leaks in the turbine pipe were found in the suspension. There are a lot of nuances on the body, namely chips and dents. We found no iron on the rear left car, only putty. After a big accident in America, the car was assembled quite well.
Car damage in the USA:
In the engine compartment we found a defect in the decorative cover and leakage of the shaft balance plugs and a very sensitive smell of antifreeze in the cabin.
There are no defects in the interior, except for scuffs on the seat and some buttons.
Since the car has more than 160 thousand kilometers, we could not help but check the engine with an endoscope, everything is fine on the cylinder walls, there are small risks, but for BMW this is normal
(the engine does not take oil) there was carbon deposits on the valves, this can be easily cleaned by cleaning with a walnut.
Plan for the car: we will do Stage 1-2-3 chip tuning, retrofit the M steering wheel, NBT EVO multimedia and much more!
