Iv had the m52 in for a couple of weeks now, it still feels quick but i think its misfiring especially at low rpm, the car seems to be really jerky at low rpm (i dont mean so low that i need to gear down) like its not firing properly on all cylinders, its really sounds like the engine is unwell, it gargles and pops all the time when i slow down, im not sure if its because of the stainless backbox, one thing is though, my car is OBD2 and i bought a centre pipe off a OBD1 1992 325, i have plugged in the two lambda sensors that come off the headers, but thats all i can see, there is a lambda sensor on the centre pipe but there is no more plugs on the engine loom to plug in an extra lambda, is there only one the two lambdas on a 328? could the engine have high milage have anything to do with it? if anyone knows what it could be please help

Omg...... That blows. How exactly did your car get jacked? And can it still be fixed? The damage doesn't look that bad. Mainly body work. Hope to see it get restored if feasible.
