Hello everyone and just to say my names Andy or as you will know me on the forum as spirit and a complete bmw nut who after waiting 15 years since seeing one decided in a moment of madness to rescue a e36 bmw 328i coupe 10 minutes from being crushed as the owner decided that he didnt want it for a drift car anymore so decided the end was nigh so fate had it i bought it there and then and started to make it a road car with an added twist but still retain the classic e36 feel.

the car is being built on a tight budget including the car of 2k so most of the car has been built with second hand parts and very few new ones and also calling in favours,swops,deals,begging etc to the point where just the rear arches need doing and a quick respray to tidy it up.

some of you may already know me anyway as i am a prominent member of bimmerforums.co.uk but i like to spread my knowledge and gain also so i use various forums in my quest as i like learning all the time

i hope its ok with admin staff if i post my project link from bimmerforums as its very page heavy and i will also post new stuff of course on here all the time so i hope its ok guys

There is an icon for bulk loading photobucket, then just copy the link and paste, I think it is the 3rd section down for the link, good luck. :D

The only way I can think of right now is the 'Share This Album' option on photobucket.,

Or we have our own bulk uploader, but that can't link to photo bucket.

I ill look into it though, seems a good idea.

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave, Just an update and I think you may be right. Went out and gave it a few revs when cold, nothing. Let it warm up and there was a loud “shoooo”. I’ve attached a photo of where the sound was coming from. Going to get it looked into but do you have any idea of what it could be? First BMW, always had vag cars so engine are a little different to what I’m used to

      Rough idle problem

      Hello Dave thanks for your reply, thanks for the reply and it does sound like that could be the problem. I was thinking injector but never pops an engine light up so wasn’t certain. Was serviced 6500 miles ago but was just oil and filters. Going to check later and see if I can see any visible cracks or splits. Got a friend who has a garage and will obd and smoke test it for me.

      E53 petrol fail safe again.

      Morning Stu Long time since I played with a straight six so the old memory might be wonky here so check realoem From memory it is linked to the Air Pump and Vacuum control system. Find the Airpump and follow the Vac lines to the rear of the engine you should find a valve with a plug on top (or end) first make sure all lines are good no splits or cracks check the valve is operating, dont forget there is a non return vale in the system close to the inlet manifold. Hope this helps Dave
