got the VIN? i'd love to pull a car fax on this thing.
Great idea. I have an account with CarFax so it's not going to cost me anything. I will post it here.

Sahkur, are the running boards painted black on that rig? Those rims look better black than I would have thought.
In CO they do not issue Salvage Titles.
We have to get this thing back on the road!
How about $2 towards the cause?

That is the craziest CARFAX I've ever seen. I has changed my mind about how long an automatic transmission will last, that's for sure.
Gotta figure out a way to keep it on the road. Lemme think. My cars have the PERM sticker and are Montana registered, but I got nothing on the destruction title situation from Florida. Any of you Colorado MUDders have a backdoor idea to keep this rig on the road?

Unfortunately, it's wrecked.

Yes, it is the 1HD-FTE diesel, but the engine failed after 865.000miles so that is very impressive. The problem was a faulty injector, which made a hole in one of the pistons. The engine was in such a good state that we only had to replace the cilinder and an injector. We also replaced most bearings, but that wasn't even needed. Only the cylinder head was really dirty due to a faulty turbo in combination with the EGR. So we also cleaned the head and bought a new turbo. I hope to have engine built in before 2017. After all it was a lot of work, but I am sure the car could easily reach 1 million miles after the rebuild. And in the meantime I can play with the 335xi.
Looks like original owner sold it or traded it in finally, new owner wrecked it?![]()
Crazy Car Fax!! Thanks Sakhr!
That thing has to kept alive, there's gotta be a way!!
I looked into this before, I think there is one state where they don’t have CD certificates, the worst title they have is a salvage. So if you bring a car there and inspect it they will give you a rebuilt title. But I couldn’t figure out which state it was and how to do it. Someone mentioned CO here so that may be it.
I see what you mean, but this is not a salvage title. salvage title can be "rebuilt" and inspected. Each state calls this one differently as in certificate of destruction, CD, junk certificate, parts certificate, non-repairable title...etc. For example, in CA they call it a non-repairable certificate and in MT they call it parts-only title.
