Hello everyone. I'm Mike and regrettably a true Ren 19 enthusiast. I have just bought a 1998 318ti Compact from a friend and I like it a lot more than I thought! So much so that I've decided to put my current 19 project on hold so I can start tinkering with the Beemer! Theres a knocking coming from the front which I believe is a ball joint, and it sometimes jumps out of first gear when pulling away. I think this is down to the gearbox being worn, so was going to drive it til it dies, then drop a 6cyl in it. Have to see how it goes. I'll get some photos up when I get round to taking some (:

Thanks for the welcomes, and oi! French is not THAT bad. Ok, so the build quality isn't brilliant, nor is the reliability, but they are fun cars to drive, full of character, when they work. Go ahead and get the !Removed! taking and joke cracking out the way haha. I'm not bothered by it anymore, I'm immune to it in fact ;)

I would never have gone out specifically looking for a German car, boring in my eyes. But I was so wrong til I got one.

Buy a 19 16v and you'll soon know ;)

Hi mate welcome to the club

Try starting it away from the french poo that knocking is probably an echo from the french poo :-)

You have a thing with French poo

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…

      X3 2.0 automatic

      hi , I had very similar problem a while back, and after a lot of testing with vista, it turned out to be a front R/H wheel , speed/wheel sensor. when it all was happing lots of codes were coming up gearbox, diff front and back, transever box,plus many more, didn't look good, but there was one code that repeatedly came up at the top of the list, at this point it was becoming undriveable ,it just didn't seem that a wheel sensor could cause all these codes. So I went got two wheel speed sensor, replaced driver side front, the problem never came back, the sensor controls so many systems ,cleared all codes, happy days, I could have pulled the car apart for nothing, and got nowhere, except an empty wallet. hope this helps you or someone.
