hi all, new to the forum but not BMWs. i have had a couple of 2001s and at the present time have a 1984 318 2 door. we have had this car for the past 6 years and it has been no trouble at all. had to fit a new water pump and rad and a few hoses and a new exhaust, but it tto show its age. so time to look for a replacement. trying to get an idea of what value to put on it. it was immaculate when we brought it,but is less so now. still only 60000 miles or so. far to nice to scrap so looking for someone who will restore it before it gets past restoring condition? anyone got any idea what it might be worth. looking to replace it with 3 series diesel estate/tourer for around 2 grand if anyone has one.

Hello and welcome,

Your 318 has very low milage for its age and i can imagine its very worth restoring as the engine has done hardly any miles.

I would take a guide from ebay as to how much they are going for atm but i wouldnt give it away for a song. :unsure:

      BMW 318i boot locked can’t get into

      Update: I checked my battery and it charged in 5 minutes, so I don't have to find another alternator. All seems to be OK except for the plastic "L"s with a short rubber hose that bypass the HV/AC solenoid. Those get clogged after @ 150,000-190,000 miles (if distilled water wasn't used) and cause air pockets that try to burst radiators. I have a few more brass "L"s, so now I can throw the plastic ones away. I have to be careful I don't fog the windows though, without heat or cool.

      105C thermostat replacement

      You are absolutely right. The strange thing is that when I put the chassis number on the realoem it shows that the temp sensor is not applicable on my vehicle. I will physically check for a sensor. In the meantime, do you think that the removal of the MAP activated thermostat will effect the temp gauge on the dial instrument item 6? I am tempted to add a dummy resistor , 11.5ohms - 13watts , to simulate the MAP thermostat. Your thoughts?

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Morning Andrew I normally disconnect the Neg lead only, some folks disconnect both a few even say disconnect both and touch them together. Goes without saying both sensor plugs need to be checked and a squirt of contact cleaner applied never hurts 😅 Dave

      SLIPPING CLUTCH

      Hi Dave, I fitted one of the sensors on the rear but it has made no effect as the light is still there, I will fit the other sensor tomorrow and see how it goes then. You mention the disconnect the battery, is there any pattern to this ? is it both leads or just the negative lead? cheers Paneuro.
