They did make them, they were badged as a 316. I dont think that BMW made them for long before they switched to fuel injection across the whole E30 range.

So there not to common then. Parts must be hard to find, if anything was to go wrong with it.

The 316 carb was a 1.8 engine from memory.

A slightly later 316i or 318i could be a less troublesome and still cheap choice.

hi vinni! welcome to the zone mate. whereabouts are you from?

the 316 was the early pre-facelift cars, with the 1.8 M10 engine in it. I cant remember what carb it used, i think it was a Weber, but its been ages since i worked on one!!

hope you enjoy the zone, and dont worry about Steve, he's harmless
