Looking to buy a cheap run around that'll run on chip fat and would like to keep it bmw if possible. I understand some cars run better than others on chip fat, would either of these work well? Or shall I go for something else?

They work on WVO (waste vegetable oil) but the lift pumps have trouble apparently. Fuel pump is Bosch so no probs though. Older 324TDs are more reliable, apparently.

i think the oil would need heating first or it clogs the injectors

Are the e36 325tds the same engines as the e34 525tds?
