Re: 318 IS/I M40/42 MPG and running costs

i agree with the above points, so i'l correct myself.. fuel economy will not only depend on how you drive, but what type of roads you drive on!

Re: 318 IS/I M40/42 MPG and running costs

as iceox says, it's how you drive it.. i don't find the is to be much better on fuel than the 325.. 26/27mpg compared to 22/23mpg.. but i am on twisty B roads 90% of the time!.. i'm sure i could get more mpg if i tried though.

Re: Battery draining....

i had the same problem a few years back, eventually took it to an auto electrician.. he replaced a corroded fusible link in the boot near the battery & all was well.

Re: Air Filters

thats my point, usually see cones with some sort of tubing to feed cold air from ouside engine bay as car is moving at speed.. i'm no expert, dont know if this set up works, but it certainly wouldnt on a rolling road!

Re: Total nitemare trying to find tyres

probably too late to be of any use but i just got 4 toyo proxes 205 55 15 from blackcircle for £320 all in, delivered to & fitted/balanced at local garage. think they have agents all over.. fantastic tyres at any price, well worth £80 each! been using them on my e30s for many years.

318is diff

Can anyone tell me if 318is has LSD? E30Wiki says no, but others say yes. Is it a case of some do, some don't? Only consensus seems to be 4.1.. Thanks for any info.
