I"d rather use a pressure gauge ;-) but I'd rather not do it at all if other diagnostic means are available, such as a vacuum gauge on the intake manifold. Run the engine wide open for a short time,...

A year and a half ago I bought my '97 318ti; it had 186,000 miles. Its first smog test was marginal, barely passing.

Its smog test just the other week, at over 200,000 miles, failed miserably: Co...

Woah, old thread. Even so, someone else might stumble across it as I did.

If you have an OBD2 diagnostic tool that told you the P0420 code, then it probably has a button that will clear the codes...

The plastic air baffle is a flimsy piece of plastic that clips into the upper edge of the air inlet opening and sits over the air filters. It's probably a bear to get back in without breaking. I left...

Oh, I wish I had seen this before I came up with pretty much the same solution on my own!

Instead of drilling through the clip and the box, I placed the screw just below the clip. That should...

Glue!

I reglued the door clips on the driver side door.

I got one of those little double-syringes of resin and hardener, the kind specified for plastic and steel and quick set. When I removed the clips...

Fog lights are useful in the city at night: they illuminate the feet of pedestrians who are about to leap out in front of you.

Fog lights should be wired in with the low beams, not the high beams.
That is, if you actually intend to use them in the fog. Don't use your high beams in the fog or snow: you'll just light up the...

Ducts!

Many of the ducty things in the front of my '97 318ti are missing, so I ordered some from eBay. The one that goes in front of the radiator, the one for under the chin, and the brake cooling ducts....

Picked up my '97 from The Driving Machine and had a look at its previous flywheel. Oh, man, the previous owner spun the clutch a lot: centimeter-wide dark spots all around. :mad: The new clutch...

Zoner, the mat itself has a sort of sparkly texture which probably counts as glare. Is that what you mean? But it is such an improvement over the previous condition, and I can't see that effect in...

My previous boss is a car nut; he has a Beemer, a Mercedes, and a 240z. I talked about replacing my Civic and mentioned the 318ti. I saw his sneer. But I didn't buy the car to please him; I bought it...

97e36ti, the guy who ragged on your car is a jerk, plain and simple. We know the 318ti is a great car, otherwise we would not have bought one. Right?

And anybody who uses "gay" as an insult just...

I installed a DashMat.

The dashboard in my car is a light tan color, so it creates a lot of glare on the windshield. They're available in a nice variety of colors. I suppose I could have got one...

I put a Starfleet Academy sticker on the hatch. (I have to; I'm a space cadet; I grew up on Star Trek!)

Email sent. I found pictures of parts; now I need to find pictures that show me where to go: my 318ti has some of them missing but I don't know which ones.

I bought it!

Today I bought my 318ti!

My previous car was a 1991 Honda Civic Si that I had since 1990. It recently got stolen two times too many, so I sold it to someone who wanted it.

With the cash I...
