Picked up a “flood” damaged NR (non runner) 2007 M6 convertible at an auction in Chicago.(73K miles)
no minimum bid so $6,400 put the baby on the delivery truck. I figured rebuild it and would still be ahead.

charged the battery for 2 days!

Took all panels, trunk, engine panels, cover off the engine electronics box and all were bone dry.
No engine or SMG faults but the car would not crank; just everything lit up.
Started to decide to troubleshoot and try to turn the starter over. UGH!
But there has to be tunes; plugged the IPHONE in the cigarette lighter but no power!
Looked inside and saw a penny, Took it out, saw another penny, took it out, found a dime, took it out!

No power! UGH! Looked in the trunk and took out fuses 87/88, fuse 87 was bad and replaced.

PHONE CHARGING AND TUNES PLAYING!

‘just for the hell of it......pushed the start button!!1.....CAR STARTED!!! What the heck!

Warmed up the car, took it for a spin, now throwing Cylinder 2 misfire with cutoff!

Easy piezy from here on! 44C86056-534C-439F-94F3-54EBD83E22C9.jpgE576F031-EF11-4E35-93AE-7ADF62F76C2C.jpg
