Vince, I'd recommend going with a stock unit. I installed an ANSA on my 84 318i a couple of years ago......the workmanship on this product is lousy; I'd not...
... least two "version" of the ECU's for the 318i cars. Which ECU fits a particular car is likely tied to the build date; which can be traced via the VIN...
Bill, I used to think the same about Bosal, however, the one on the GF's 325 lasted 2 years at best. I priced one at the dealer (different shape than the...
Hi My first query to the group. I purchased a '89 318i a few months ago with a view of running the car in the local BMW's supersprint series. The car is...
I bought a Supersprint for $300 about 5 years ago. It replaced an ANSA, which was on the car for about 5 minutes. Hated it. The Supersprint looks and sounds...
I've got a beat 325e sitting around that I'd like to steal some parts off of for my '84 318. Sounds like the brake upgrade is kind of a pain in the rear, but I...
What kind of cooling problems are you experiencing? I've been battling cooling issues as well, and I believe I've discovered all of my culprits....and in the...
I had the good misfortune of losing my entire (very, very not-stock Bosnian homemade) exhaust system on a Slovenian expressway last fall. Believe me, if you...
Thanks for the radiator info, I guess that would be a bit of a pain if the 325's in/out have swapped sides. I've got a rebuilt engine that shouldn't have any...
On a proper 318i, the target for the temperature gauge is just a touch below the mid-point on the gauge. This should not vary greatly during normal operation....
I have two thermostats - one regular and one fail-safe. The fail-safe is a hotter thermostat that I use in the winter. The other one is a cooler thermostat...
Channing- Have you replaced your fan clutch recently? Mine was easy to stop by hand and I used to overheat at idle. $65 later, the new clutch was in (easy...
Some racers often run their race cars without cooling fans, if rules allow. Street driving requires a functional cooling system with a fan to prevent...
I just installed a new alternator on my 85 318i. Now the oil light, the red one with the oil container on it, comes on, it didn't with the old alt on it. I...
Thanks for all the info guys, I hope to dig up the electric fan I took off and re-fit that, maybe replace the thermostat if it isn't opening all the way-- good...
Anyone remember how to set what items you want to come up on the on board computer when you press on the turn signal/high beam colum button??? Thanx, Rodd '84...
Wanted to thank everybody for the exhaust information for the _85_ 318i! I had figured Ansa was crap, their 2002 systems are also crap. I'll find out more...
OK, then if you can't change it is there something that activates it's use? The issue is that it doesn't change the display anymore ever since I put the new...
Having read the debates about the expense of plugwires on Roadfly I was wondering if it applied to our engines too. Mostly they recomended forking over the...
I bought a new pair of Bosch wires - $180 Canadian. DIY would be just as good if you have the right plug end caps. DIY could be better, as the length could...
FREE car - just pick it up in Bancroft (about 3 hour drive from Ottawa). What you get: 1985 BMW 318i standard - engine, transmission, body (good hood), ...
A wire loom is something I'm going to add. Heres the skinny on my replacement wires question. Yesterday my 318 started running rough, like it was only firing...
Rodd, it sounds like you have disconnected the loom. check your connections on the cluster to make sure they are all snug. I can see no reason why it would not...
Come and get it this weekend if you want it, otherwise it's probably going to be junked. It's an M10 out of an '84 318 with 250k on it, sitting in Radford, VA....
