so one of the 3 relays outside of the box under the black cover was bad #155 relay. i saw upon research that it was a flue pump relay. they had it in stock locally $13 so i put in the old DME and replaced that relay and car runs fine now. Now when I bought the replacement relay which was not the same # a s the BMW # also two pins where backwards 86 &30 if i recall correct but after a little thought i figured that they where just two polls the relay went after that so. I went with it and the conversion chart also said it would work. later when i find my phone/comp cord I'll up load some pics of the car.

Default 1995 318ti will not start

Those relay contacts are fine. The relays leads corrode some. The tip is clean though. Also. The interior of the case is the important part.

Edit: Never mind, you got it all fixed!

Default Battery drain

Just had battery drain on 97 bmw 318ti
I knew alternator was NG
Was in process of getting warranty replacement

It ends up blown alternator was causing 2.5 amp battery drain
Will update after replaced
I have previous alternator, had bad bearings
May just wait to replace with new, kind of cold to spend time outside 1 hr at a time to replace

Sounds like its flooded, try holding the gas pedal all the way to the floor and crank it for about 10s or until it starts and revs up. May be a bad coolant temp sensor or air temp sensor reading incorrectly.
