Re: The worst car you've EVER owned
1990 BMW 325iC
Beautiful, drove awesome.
Electrical problems out the wazoo!
The brain box was in the drivers door with a pigtail between the body and the door.
No big deal you say.... well the bright lights in Bavaria speced out two different metals for each side of the connector...
Can you say corrosion....
Beautiful day, drop the top (manual top only took like 5 seconds to drop and stow), jump in, hit start....nothing.
Retrieve can of electrical cleaner and pipe cleaners from the console, dissasemble the pigtail grommet and connector. Spray the brass side and run pipe cleaners through the connectors until you no longer get green. (all the while getting lots of stares from all the ladies in the parking lot LOL) Reassemble the connection. Start up and drive off. Usually happened twice a week.
Beyond that lots of phantom power issues all over the place.
Owned 9 months and had had enough; traded for 1989 MB 300SE
