I could be completely off here... but maybe it's gone into your coolant... maybe your head gasket has failed between a coolant duct and an oil duct, and the oil and coolant are mixing??? the coolant that goes into the oil is burning off,and the oil going into the coolant is circulating with the...

Hahaha!! Sounds like me a couple weeks ago!!

A cat-back exhaust for $170-190 isn't bad at all... you want a new one, not one from a junk yard if you want it to pass an inspection. Most of the time the pipe will outlast the muffler and pipe isn't that expensive... if you're gunna put on a new/different muffler, you might as well have new...

The back seat just pops up... give it a good tug from each side, and I'll come right off. Just the seat part, not the back. under the seat, there'll be cover with a gasket that you remove, and your fuel tank/pump will be right underneath. Maybe check your filler hose to the tank too. read...

make sure you check all the short sections of flexible rubber lines for cracks.

It's funny what people try to sell you. When my glove box latch broke, all I needed was the plastic mechanism, but the dealer and BMP wanted to sell me the whole mechanism, plus the keyed cylinder, and a set of keys!! What??? the key cylinder pops out with the release of a simple external...

Sweet! Congrats... May you drive the living hell out of it, and enjoy every minute!

I saw one about a year ago at a Huskey truck stop... and yes, it's fast as hell, and yes, it truly is ugly. I'm not sure if they could have made the nose any longer! But still, I haven't seen one since. I did get to see a new M5 a couple weeks ago. Here's a tip; Don't egg on a guy in an M5...

I like the part about the 50/50 weight distribution... I just found my $600 vibration damper in the trunk of my car... I dropped some tools down my rear quarter panel when I was replacing my locking gas cap mechanism. There's a piece of solid metal that must weigh 50lbs. sitting where the...

(IF your car IS a 325e) The "1 foot" of wire leaves O2 sensor (which is indeed just before the catalytic converter)... and does indeed go up to a little bracket on the passenger side of the engine compartment where it plugs in to the vehicles wiring harness. However, the wire is usually tucked...

Do you mean the bearings in the alternator?

I didn't think so, but there are s14 parts lying around at Turner MS that I though I could scoop up if they did fit. I've very interested in doing this to my car one day... but first I need what we all need; More money. I'll stick with my Dinan dreams for now. Thanks for the input guys! Scott

Looks like it's in great shape. Any chance of seeing the engine compartment?

This hunk of rust has been sitting in my driveway for a year now, and I think I'm done stripping it of everything I think is worth keeping. (blower motor, wiper motor, headlight buckets, locking gascap door lock, ECU, fuses, relays, idle control valve and module, misc. interior parts, etc...)...

I'm pretty sure the dbilas model is the exact same one I can get from BMP design. By any chance, does the S14 ITB bolt on to the M42, or is it completely different?

Sounds like the starter might still be engaged with the flywheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeel. [scratch]

That's a possiblity, but only when the clutch needs replacing. As for right now, once I get the chip in, and the B&M short shifter in, the next upgrade will be suspension by Dinan hopefully. Probably not the Stage III, but hopefully the Stage II. Just out of curiousity, has anyone ever...

A little late here too... but yes, I drive a 91 318i (not "is") and it does indeed have the M42. [werd]

Looks sweet for being 15 years old! I love my little M42 as well... tonnes of fun to wind it up! Any chance of seeing an engine compartment picture? I just got mine out of storage, this past weekend, so I'll be posting some pics soon I hope. The weather doesn't look too promising, so a...

Man, what a pain. At least she found the brake pedal, even if it was too late. Sounds like she's driving with no insurance.... but you'd think she offer to pay cash for the repairs. Glad you two are okay.
