"Just fantastic!"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I've had some interior problems and the car drives very badly on petrol.

General comments?

It's a fantastic car! Great handling, but maybe a bit underpowered for a 100 hp car that weighs 1206 kg. I only believe that the previous generation 3 Series (the E30) had a stronger interior. Check my website (www.bmw316i.com) for more info about the BMW 316i E36.

Hi,

I'm looking to do an LPG conversion on my E30 318i. Can you tell me the air mixer unit is located?

Many thanks,

Richard Gould, UK.

All E36 interior quality faults were fixed by late 1992 cars, the build quality from then was superb.

Hi,

I've got an E36 coupe, 1997. The handling is so poor if you go offroad, and the engine gets more noisy when you reach above 170 KM/h. The car still only has low kilometers on it, about 25 thousand...

A 316i, off road, going 170km/h?

I think the engine has a right to be noisy, it is not even an off road car.

The engine will be noisy at that speed even if it where on the motorway. It would be doing at least 4000RPM...

My 316i seems to be a bit sluggish.. Was wondering if anyone has any idea to give it a little more boost? Tried injector treatment but didn't seem to do anything. Also when first started in the morning it revs up and down for a minute or two before it goes to a normal idle... Any suggestions?
