New E36 Owner

[H8rlequin]

Hi Guys

So, Brand new to the BMW forum thing... Owned a Mini Cooper before but don't know if that counts

I am in the process of buying a E36 318I. It really is the neatest one I could find ( I think ) and I would like to get your opinion on it...

What would the main recommended mod's be for these types of cars to free up some HP and save petrol...

Also, anything I need to address as a matter of urgency with the car in terms of maintenance? Car is on 145K Km, with full service history.

And lastly, anything missing from the engine bay or any obvious problems?

Thanks! And I look forward to being part of the forum

hi

car looks very neat.

the most common issues i have found with them is:
1: plug leads pack up.
2: waterpumps wear out
3: viscous fan
4: intake rubber between the afm and throttle body.

other than that they are very good cars.

send me a pm if you would like some tips on tuning.
