magpie,how much would a servo cost me???..is it an easy home swop over for me or is it a big job??,could mine be repaired??

Havent used my car since november as she is off the road for the winter... since that it is a nice dry day today i started her up and took her for spin around the block..started and drove fine...except for the brakes!!!!,although they work ghey seem alittle spongey....and as i press and brake pedal ...

My wifes old 540 touring was a great car...but with around 9mpg town driving it was a thursty old bus....but served her well,she done about 75k miles in it without any problem......

Mcbonio.....thanks for the answer...
it has a manual gearbox......
i think i'll give this car a miss,as you said e46 prices are coming down now and thee ard a few around......
my search continues...

You guys are so funny........

When buying a car, assume the worst and you may get lucky. That car is £1500 tops as a nice together car. £500 is plenty with a possible head issue . If it is such a simple fix, I am sure the seller would get it done........ It's probably just a fuse. Dont think a fuse would cause water to get into...

How much would you value my "is"baur at????,1991 39k miles,im its 3rd owner from new,no rust always been garaged ect....

136bhp......

Black full electrics,multi function wheel,cloth seats,cruse,climate,......
mot and tax til oct....
no rust....

Is the oil cooler an easy d i y fix????

I think its 141bhp....

Hi, thinking about taking a bucthers at the said car......only problem is that owner says that it needs a new oil cooler as oil is getting into the water,he asures me that its not the head gasket as the car dosent over heat ect...also the erg valve needs cleaning???(whats that??) the car is a "y"reg...

Thanks for the reply...

Think i'll take the battery inside and charge it,how do i turn the
car over using the diagnostic scoket????

Hi,
My 318is baur 1991 is off the road parked covered over in my garage...
Obviously the battery is flat...my question is how often should i start ghe engine/charge battery???..
Im planing on putting it back the road in may.

I had chance to drive one of these for a day last year............mind blowing fast and equally as thursty!!!!...
lovely car though.

My wife has a 2011 116d sport....good relible little car,excellent on fuel, she has done 65k miles in it since new no problems to report..boot isnt too bad size she fit all her work boxes in it ok..... She had to replace all four runflat tyres on it last summer which only cost ghe small sum of £970!...

I have a 1999 e36 318i touring with 150k on the clock...im its third owner and everything works as it should although the climate /windscreen demist isnt very good!!!!,its my day to day driver and will keep on using it until it starts costing me money.... Where as my 318is baur e30 is only used on d...

My wifes old 540 touring was awesome in the snow.....would go anywhere without a problem......we used to live up a fairly steep winding hill...my e36 compact only managed about 1/4 the way up,where as "the beast"(that what we used to call it!!!)breezed up the hill!!!!

I use a stock box with a k&n panel filter.....
imo cone filters are a BIG
waste of coins...

Oh.....i have found a 2003 facelift model............with the crappy engine!!!!
Looks nice though....is it worth a look... what should i check for engine wise..it has 97k with fsh...

Hi all,
A friend of mine is after one of these....so im looking out for one..
Are there any faults that they are prone too???
any thing that i should be looking for...????[/img]

Cheers guys.....
all points noted..

Hi all.. Happy new year to you all...... Just after abit of advise,ive just taken my 318is baur off the road(that said i havent used it much all summer....as the weather has been so bad)...so will be layed up in my garage until begining of may... what iz tge best way to store..battey disconneted??/a...

Grilles look pretty nice....reminds me a mk2 golf....abit!!!

Grilles look pretty nice....reminds me a mk2 golf....abit!!!

I live near Newquay.....in the summer i try to keep well clear!!!!!!..
good luck with the ride mate......good cause...

Oh i see...

For £1250 it's worth a gamble - if it 's an ES it'll be a 2003? Manual aircon, spott suspension, 16" 'loyz and sport s/wheel. Plus black head lining, wind up rear windows and no front fogs or multi function steering wheel. Climate panel and multi function steering wheel are easy retro fits though. ...

Yeah its a 53 plate 2004,6 speed manual,141k miles with full service history..

Oh i see....would you advise against it then????.
its up for £1.250....
there is a decent BMW indt garage a few miles away from me might take it to them and see what they say!!!!

Hi,
going to have a look at the above car .....
the no problem with it is the owner says that over 2k revs it runs fine but below 2k it "struggles"??????
Any ideas guys?????

Yes my 318is baur turns lots of heads,seems like every time i take it for a spin,people comment on how nice it looks and how rare it is etc...back in the summer i was followed by a police car for about 3 miles he stopped me to ask if i wanted to sell it to him....

My 318is baur has 51mm strufs and rear disc's
