e36 328i wagon slag

[Simon13]

I've read in a few places about the temp sensor. Problem is they're both totally different!

M50 one screws in the M52 one is like a butt plug and is just poked in

[DanThe]

The temp sensor plugs are the same and they both read the same on carsoft, what is the issue?

[Simon13]

i read an ebay ad that the M50 ones gives a different signal and this can lead to the M52 engine running lean?!

Are the TPS supposed to click like E30 ones on these M50/2 engines? these look identical too

I fitted the M50 throttle body today on to my car. Cured my air leak. Dan i didn't use an M50 throttle cable? My M52 one opens the throttle fully

[DanThe]

Ive always found the M52 cables inner too long, did it go straight on? I have shortened them before but its a bit bodge like

Well seeing as Simon or someone had bumped his 328 touring thread up i had a minor purchase today that might a revive a bit of interest in the daily wagon. 168,000 up now and still running really well. This guy from bmw chip tune told me that nikasil donks start using oil after about 150,000 but i put usually about half a litre between changes? About every 3000 it will use that and it hasn't got any oil leaks.


i don't think i ever gave my opinion on the M50 inlet. fook me it makes a nice change. With the M20 flywheel and full alpina exhaust it really does get a move on for a nail. Out dragged a guy in a e46 330i coupe the other day from the lights nicely, i thought it would lose! Great mods and engine revs much harder and faster now. Remap? my OBC tells me 30.7mpg and always 350+ miles to a tank. Crusie control is broken i must fix it as it saves dollar when on a run.



I think it was last washed in july? but don't quote me. Massive grime on it now plus some front end damage i don't have a picture of, helps the rat slag look if you like that.







Where does this dust come from? No one elses cars suffer like this?!





I bought this today for £60. Its posher leather than mine and i think its from an M3 cab?? Just the drivers seat but you try finding nice sport seats for an E36. Seems harder than E30's even now. Love it, e36 comforts are a vast improvement over e30 chairs but you can't beat a sport seat? even in my shed.




Should of hoovered but, well i didn't





Shame it has the m stripe as it all works ok i think? plus i have nothing else "m" on the car either

[DanThe]

Thats what a workhorse looks like
My E34 has a fooking hole where my foot goes now, it keeps filling up with stones which is annoying!

Get it down the local koso car wash Si, there is no excuse for such a dirty car nowadays with all these sponge wielding immigrants about
