 just bought 1999 318ti, some questions and concerns
I just bought a 1999 318ti off of ebay, and it looks like i got a project car. The previous owner has installed an aftermarket exhaust, and said that he has increased water pump and fuel pump pressure. He also said that he increased chamber pressure. He stated that it all added up to more horses, but the thing is just a dog. I have the M sport package, with the manu-matic 4 speed transmission, but even in manual mode the thing refuses to accelerate. Also, I am going to have to replace the headliner and reset the air bag light. Are these common problems. Also, I plan on doing all of my own work, but the Bentley E36 repair manual says it only runs through 1998. Will it cover my car as well? Also, somewhere down the road, I look to do an engine swap, and I heard the S62 from the E39 M5 fits. Does anyone have any experience in this field? I am sure that I am forgetting many other things, but for now this is all that comes to mind. Any tips or answers would be highly appreciated, thanks. |
