Hi there :) I'm new here, Glenn from Malta. I have a 1984 bmw e30 with 1.8 M10 engine.

I got a problem with the car. I took it out for a drive today, after 10 min of driving with the temperature at a quarter, the engine got stuck on 3k revs and couldn't put it down, I literally had to switch off the engine while the car is neutral on 3k revs. Can somebody help me about it? Thanks :))

What this guy says and if you are then grab hold of a weber like mine has.
