Hi, I changed my head gasket on my 85 318. Two things I'd like to mention. The manual I have gives instructions for pulling the head and intake manual as an...
Well, the final test has been run, and she passed with flying colors! My wife and I took a 600+ mile round-trip and the cooling system worked perfectly! I...
In a nutshell, the cause of my problem apparently was a leak. The leak was large enough that I would lose enough coolant in the 10-15 minute drive to work to...
I too have a very recent cooling problem. When I park with the engine running for 10 minutes or so, the temperature rises right up to the red mark. When I...
As to Louis' 30MPG, In my 85 318i with 145K original engine I get 29-30MPG consistantly on the highway. I tracked this by actually keeping a log of fillups and...
... Today, I finally got a chance to fill'er up. Here are the figures: The pump stopped at a little under 10 gallons, so I continued to fill until it reached...
hello, did the 318i have any brake options up front? did it only come with the non-vented discs? i noticed there are brembo "oe replacements" that are...
later years of 318i (the M42 engined ones) had vented brakes, so did most of the 6 cylinder cars. You can upgrade to vented rotors eaily, all you need is the...
I didnt know that the e30 318i came with vented discs. That carried on to the e36 sedan and coupe. I wonder why the e36 318ti never got the vented front discs...
Are you sure about the larger calipers? The reason I ask is I did the same thing to my VW Golf. Went to vented rotors. The only difference is the brake pad...
Hmmm, I think the analog MPG gauge is meant to work, but gives a mpg reading according to the exact speed/load/rpm at the moment as it swings back and forth. ...
very sure, I have done this conversion and there is no way to put old calipers on vented discs and still have any decent amount of pad left. You can buy the...
I've hated that analog MPG gauge ever since I drove my first 318i away from the factory in Munich. Has anyone ever seen a decent substitute guage one can...
Over the last year, I've acquired a 1984 318i (80,000 miles) and a 1985 318i (239,000 miles). Both of them leak oil. The '84 loses about 1 quart between oil...
Sigrid, there are many places that you can develop oil leaks at. the best way is to have your engine cleaned (steam works well) and degreased and then follow...
After spending hundreds of dollars to get my 318i to pass emissions, I found out there is a SECRET these emissions shops do not readily share. The catalytic...
My '85 (204,000 miles)leaked from the oil pressure sending unit so I replaced it. It still has a very small leak from the valve cover gasket. That repair...
I drove a friend home to her apartment in Belgrade - Kotez last evening (useless information, but Mel Micic should appreciate the reference...) as I was...
1 is the easiest to check -- you might check those first. Take the rear seat up, unscrew the cover, and you have access to the wiring and sending unit....
I previously posted what my highway mileage was on my last trip, so I thought I would follow up with city figures. I filled up today with 266 miles on the...
The end of the workday turned out to be not so sweet.....my car (along with 8 others) got broken into for stereos. The POS ganked my brand new Blaupunkt, and...
I had to replace a dash and center console (was cracked and broken). The local euro wrecker sold me a good dash including vents for $200.CAD, and a center...

That REALLY stinks :( I don't know if you deal with ebay, but at least a few of those parts are listed now. Item#2443973938 is the center console...currently...
I'm doing some exhaust work in the near future, and I'm curious to know if anyone has found any performance difference or improvement by removing the catalytic...
