I told Rob that they should change their site over a year ago. They simply assumed that the 318ti rear lines were different due to the E30 rear. However, if you check the part numbers, all E36s use...

You have to start with the motor completely cold. If you start with a hot motor you WILL end up with a geyser on your hands. Revving a cold motor will merely ooze water out of the bleed screw.
