Thanks. I re-read the advert and yes it's an M57. Why did BMW have to make it so confusing?

How would 'box trouble manifest itself?

It has a module that needs 'coding' to the car to make park sensor, tailgate work. What is the deal with this, do I need £1000 specialist equipment or £100 and a laptop?

It's alphabetical order - N generation follows M generation. That said, I don't know why it goes from N to B. But the N47 and 57 were introduced to replace the M47 and 57

 

I guess similar to most others. It's a ZF 6HP so early indication might be that it's detecting some gear ratios are incorrect. That will mean it's failing. Physically, stuff like flared changes or burnt fluid.

 

I don't know about the module - I'm not a BMW expert to be honest. I just know a bit about the engines and gearboxes at this generation because I have a BMW of this era!

It's a real shame that that P76 is in such a state, didn't look bad in these pictures... although they're from 20 years ago. Chassis number one, aswell.

I messaged the seller and sadly it would appear to be missing the front and rear glass. I've placed a bid anyway whilst telling myself that I'm sure* Pilkington will be able to make the glass up at the appropriate time, but I won't hold my breath on having to go West with the trailer next week as I'm hoping certain someone will want it more than I do. TBH from the state of it in the advert pics I would think that it's possibly destined for a future that involves an oval...

P76 stuff

Well that must be find of the year. For any Leyland licker anyway. I never knew anything about this and am amazed to find one over here but it really is too far gone isn't it? If it was still in Australia you'd have half a chance of finding the parts but over here you've got no chance. That bonnet is toast as well as the missing glass and that's probably just the start of your problems. Shame.

That crashed Chevy that turned up in that there London.

Unfortunately the seller doesn't mention the odd story, of how it wound up abandoned and smashed up.

Interesting panel gaps, but hang on, what's this?

Ah, the home made number plate. Makes me laugh because they actually made the effort of obtaining a plate background with the GB badge but decided to sharpie the letters on instead 🤣
