Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a 2001 330ci from someone who i can only describe as a "corner-cutter". it has a welded rear diff(idk if thats part of it or helps). When I bought it, the thing was maxed out to the ground for the front coilovers AND rear lowering springs...I mean maxed out. I first heard the "skid/stutter" sound and thought easy fix, I'll raise it, which is what i was gonna do anyway. Raised it and bought new brake pads, No Dice. Still does the same stuff.
when I turn off the DSC, it doesnt do #2. but problem #1 is constant
Problem #1 - When im stopped and I begin to accelerate while turning, my back right rear tire skids in quick little jerks. I thought it was both tires but it only seems to be the one. I can drive through it no problem as far as resistance goes, its not locking the whole car down but its definitely not a good thing so i haven't been driving it-(No dash lights blink or are on)
Problem #2 - When i take a sharper turn while moving, my DSC light blinks and the car goes limp. It doesnt die and everything stays on (radio,lights) but it loses all power throttle-wise. Once I straighten out enough I get power in my pedal back instantly and everything works fine.
Ive recenently had suspension work but it was done professionaly and the problem was occuring
