    bike rack?????

    Try "Sportrack" I used them on my old 325e's... they lock on, don't over hang the side of the car, and it comes as a roof rack to begin with, and you can mount a bike rack to it in the summer, and in the winter, you slide the bike rack off, and slide the ski rack on. (you can get kayak mounts...

    i need urgent help!

    I don't drive a E36, but the big center nut should be your wheel bearing nut. don't remove it. If you didn't hit it hard, hit it harder. I've had the same problem with my E30. It does come off with a little brute force. A rubber hammer won't work very well though.. If you have a "dead...

    Old Fuel

    What I've been told about winter driving and storing cars is that you should keep your tank as full as possible. Moisture can build up in the tank and if you run the car, water car get in your fuel lines and when you stop the car, the water in the lines can freeze up. I'm guessing you just...

    Most expensive hydraulic line ever

    If you went to your nearest parts store, they sell pre cut, and flared lines for like $3. You just have to have the bending tool... That clutch slave line is really fun to replace. [rolleyes] ... Scott

    Older E36ers - check your guibo and springs

    Hmm... I just replaced a broken spring on my Aunts 94 325is, and it was broken in almost the exact same spot as yours. She didn't spin or anything, but she lives on a farm in the country with lots of nice pot holes... funny how her upper shock mounts looked fine though.

    i need to see...

    ...maybe you could post some picture of your suspension setup so we can all get a good look at it. That's probably easier than for all of us to find a picture.

    Need an Opinion on a 87 E30

    Sounds okay to me, but I'd have to see it. In Ontario, most of those E30's from the 80's are getting pretty rusty, but we have tonnes of salt on our roads for 5 months of the year. If the body is in good shape, and you like to work on your car, it's probably not a bad deal. Just make sure you...

    Gas Mileage and Engine Life for 318's and 325's

    Indeed:) I've had a 325e, 325es, and now own a 318i with the higher performing 4 cylinder (thanks to dohc 16v). As for reliability, I am quite familiar with the E30's, and I know they are much more simple to work on and understand. The only things that have left me stranded are a broken...

    HELP! Poorly running 1991 318is Update

    I use the Haynes manual for the E30 3 series, but I have to use the Haynes manaul for the E36 3 series because it covers the M42 engine. Also, this website might help. (Email Brendan, he should be able to sort it out for you) http://www.esatclear.ie/~bpurcell/ I'm assuming you've checked...

    318is inspection

    I think you're right... but the horsepower is different. 115 for an "i" 140 for an "is", both are 1796cc.

    UK Driver can't stop 318i - accelerator stuck

    Turning off the ignition, and then turning it to the On position without restarting the engine does not lock the steering... but yeah, what an idiot.... there are so many ways to stop the car.... gearing down, neutral, braking... I hope he can't bring himself to drive any more... makes everyone...

    1993 318

    That's truly 5h1tty! I'd use BMP Design in Tyler Texas (800)239-7232 for the lights, but neither Bavauto or BMP will be able to help you with the body panels. Check around at your local BMW "only" repair shop (if you have one). They might have a parts car out back they could strip for you...

    Wheels and Oil

    I have used Eagles and Toyos on my car, and I would have to say that the Toyo Proxes T-1S was a decent tire, but the Goodyear Eagle F1 GS D2's (its called the D3 now) are the best dry traction tire I've used... price for tires shouldn't really be a concern (within reason) They're the only...

    M42 Oil Type... What should I be using?

    Thanks! I don't have the manual for this car, all I have is my old 325e manual... I guess I'll run some 20w50 and see how it goes. Cheers!
