hi all i am really stuck here

as ya all know i got the e36 saloon 328ise

now some one has just offered ( dont laugh :) ) a toyota crolla g6r (one of only 420 made for england) i know not to everyones taste and i not overly keen on them but the bmw just sat doing nothing :( as needs work doing and cant afford to do the work and with fuel prices at the mo and me being off work due to being classed as disabled just cant afford to do anything...... i heard the corolla g6r are getting rare, so would it be worth me doing it, cleaning it up and use it through winter then next year see how much can get for it to get another bmw that dont need as much doing as mine???

Hi Sam, BMW;s are good cars that go on forever (well almost), I personally would keep the BMW, once you have the problems are sorted, you will be glad that you kept it.

Corolla is a reliable car, 1.6 engine, not much power, boring interior and drive, the money you would use to buy this could buy a battery etc for the BMW, end of the day has to be your choice.

Not knowing too much about your personal life, but you say that you are going to be classified disabled, you could get a Motability car if you get the higher rate of disability allowance,

you could get a brand new car every 3 years, insurance, servicing and no road tax to pay as rated disabled, good luck mate.

I say fair play to you mate.

The BMW was useless to you with your budget, at least now your mobile and can save a little for the car you really want.

      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

      Water leak at sharkfin aerial

      Morning Vic New one to me but I guess anywhere there is a joint is suspect. Like the seals around the rear lights that suddenly start to leak, removing them a good clean and renewing the seals seems to work. Check www.realoem.com to see what is fitted and how Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Morning Billy When was the car last serviced ? The symptoms you describe could be due to an air or vacuum leak, old hoses seals and vacuum lines can start to crack when cold they are stiff and don't leak (as much) when hot and flexible you see the issue developing. Your OBD Scanner needs to be BMW capable a standard scanner will only see critical functions. Dave

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?
