If so, I had the same problem. Turned out to be something with the AC system (heat to be exact). Some valve door thing was stuck in a certain position or some ****. Worst part was, it was right after I got the AC worked on, so obviously they did it, and they didn't cover the cost of the fix. Cost me another $300 on top of the first repair.

Me, well I can't afford that. I just drove it, watching the engine temp. Once it hit red, I'd pull over, let it cool down, start her back up, and do it some more. Did that all the way to the shop. __________________ http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ata/bmwsig.jpg '95 Hellrot Red 318ti • 18x8" E46 M3 Chromes • Eagle F1 GS-D3 (225/35/18) • Cosmo Racing CAI • Sony CDX-M800 Headunit • MTX Thunder 8000 Subwoofer • Audiobahn A8000T Amp • MTX Sledgehammer 12" Ported Box | | | 11-11-2005, 03:31 AM | #5 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: central florida Posts: 6 | yeah i had a radiator problem with my integra and drove it around overheating for a week..it was a pin having to stop every so often to let it cool down and/or fill the radiator back up. but just didnt drive far. haha. but it seems overheating issues follow me around. | | | 11-11-2005, 03:34 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 108 | What part of central FL? <--Tampa __________________ http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ata/bmwsig.jpg '95 Hellrot Red 318ti • 18x8" E46 M3 Chromes • Eagle F1 GS-D3 (225/35/18) • Cosmo Racing CAI • Sony CDX-M800 Headunit • MTX Thunder 8000 Subwoofer • Audiobahn A8000T Amp • MTX Sledgehammer 12" Ported Box | | | 11-11-2005, 03:40 AM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: central florida Posts: 6 | orlando. | | | 11-11-2005, 03:42 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 108 | Look's like we are going to have to have ourselves a nice little FL meet over at the Race Rock sometime! __________________ http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ata/bmwsig.jpg '95 Hellrot Red 318ti • 18x8" E46 M3 Chromes • Eagle F1 GS-D3 (225/35/18) • Cosmo Racing CAI • Sony CDX-M800 Headunit • MTX Thunder 8000 Subwoofer • Audiobahn A8000T Amp • MTX Sledgehammer 12" Ported Box | | | 11-11-2005, 03:44 AM | #9 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: central florida Posts: 6 | are you on tamparacing.com? there is no bmw post on there at all. haha | | | 11-11-2005, 03:46 AM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 108 | Actually I am.. name is Slynke on there too. Yea, I went into the "Other" forums, hoping to make a post, and saw that there was only like 1 topic, so I just left. I really don't post there all that much anymore since I got the BMW. __________________ http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ata/bmwsig.jpg '95 Hellrot Red 318ti • 18x8" E46 M3 Chromes • Eagle F1 GS-D3 (225/35/18) • Cosmo Racing CAI • Sony CDX-M800 Headunit • MTX Thunder 8000 Subwoofer • Audiobahn A8000T Amp • MTX Sledgehammer 12" Ported Box | | | 11-11-2005, 04:07 AM | #11 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: state college, pa Posts: 3,431 | After the engine warms up, turn the heat and fans all the way up. You should be able to make it to the shop alright. __________________ I scream, you scream, we all scream for ZOMBIES. | | | 11-11-2005, 04:12 AM | #12 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 108 | Didn't work for me. On a normal basis it does, but not in my case. Trust me, I definatly tried it. It's supposed to blow the hot air off of the engine, into the cargo area, but it wasn't anywhere near enough to stop it from overheating. __________________ http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i1...ata/bmwsig.jpg '95 Hellrot Red 318ti • 18x8" E46 M3 Chromes • Eagle F1 GS-D3 (225/35/18) • Cosmo Racing CAI • Sony CDX-M800 Headunit • MTX Thunder 8000 Subwoofer • Audiobahn A8000T Amp • MTX Sledgehammer 12" Ported Box | | | 11-11-2005, 04:14 AM | #13 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: central florida Posts: 6 | yeah i got the same name too. tr not as great as i hoped for. | | | 11-11-2005, 04:19 AM | #14 | Senior Member Join Date: Mar 2005 Location: Tampa, FL Posts: 108 | Haha..
