hi all. my 316m40 has started overheating in the past week in traffic and drving, iv recently replaced the water pump,thermostat,fan coupling. i dont believe the rad is blocked as the heater works perfectly fine. i flushed the engine when i done the pump. also its developed a missfire through all th...

iv replaced my si board and batteries and working fine but just went dead again a month ago. the si board was only replaced a year ago

hi just a price for the dizzy cap and rotar arm for m40 316i 1989. many thanks.

iv been doing alot of research on these lately and there only huge downfall is the swirl flaps breaking and getting sucked into engine causin untold damage, these can be romoved without too much hassle and dont have any effect on performance.. this only happens the 150bhp ones. the engines are ment ...

not good news so. could a dealer check it up?

im e46 mad at the moment and a mate is going looking at a 2004 320d with 86k on the clock. we motochecked it and it told us it had 121k on the clock.!! are these web checks spot on? and also how hard is it to act mod the milage? some say its stored in 3 places? and if you take it to main dealer they...

haha spent the day at them and job done. pity iv sold it once it pass's nct.

but least new owner wont have to do it

just after trting to fit them back on. realy realy annoying job

from the t connection could you just use flexis if you wanted to be lazy?

Work for a main dealer and never even seen this happen on any M47 engines mate so would not worry. What do you do there, clean the bogs? M47's are very prone and the dealer I worked for was changing a lot of manifolds for concerned owners - quite a few had loose flaps about to fall out. well iv bou...

im currently at this job my self and its due the retest tomorrow and only managed to get them off now:mad: would it be possiable to take them a diff route or could that be a mot/nct fail??

thanks very much for info

oh lovely job. so no need to buy whole arm only the ball joints?? iv a press and all so sorted

car failed the nct today (irish version of mot) :cry: .because of two ball joints on the o./s of car wrer worn. man was not helpfull about exaltly which ones were worn. but my q is are the front control arms the same in all e30s and if the ball joint is worn do you have to get a new whole arm.? and ...

its the 1.9 version or re they all 1.9?. goin to c the car to morrow will ask then. thanks for info so far

yours needs doind asap if that was the last time it was done

oh not good. any chance i could take off timing cover and inspect it? or would it just be waste for there would be no sigh of wear?

just wondering what milage should the belt be changed at? it was done at 60 or 70 k it has now 136k so is it well overdue?? car sold now only to be collected. told the fella its due. but just worried how likly could it break??

ok just found out its a 01 model. what engine do they have? and was there any sport model out then? this must be just one with all the extras.?

mate of mine looking at a 318ci m sport with a genuine 66k on the clock a 00 model. any thing to look out for?? are they a quick car and what about mpg? many thanks.

k thanks. il drive on and to hell with it. but knowing my luck

more silly questions but the owner sayes he replaces the breather valve every service and told me it helps keep the swirl flaps ok? is this true?? many thanks.

haha i prob am over reacting

how is there ride comfort? we got bad roads in ireland

ya basicaly new engine or second hand to what iv heard.

just with my luck it would go bang, iv read a few guides. has anyone done it?

yes i think that myself but i not sure those engine revs matter to this problem?

hi all. im thinking of buying a 04 m sport 320d with 93k on the clock. will plan to remove swirl flaps when i get the blanks. but even for the trip home after buying it im terified about them blowing the engine. :mad: . could you just open the manfold and make sure all the flap torx bolts are tight?...

i havent but iv had the car for the last 4 years and its past owners wouldnt bother chipping i dont think as it as a completly standered car

like a rev limiter, once it hits around 4k it does it. so if i leave off the throttle then back to idle, it splutters for a few seconds then back to running normal , you rev up to the 4k once again and same tin happens.?

haha sorry. i mean its still having the same problem as before i fitted the new cam. checked for air leaks all over and none. could it have some ting to do with any sensors or anything?
