Hmmmnnnn.... I would love to do an auto to manny swap on my 328i. The
318i with a stick and 50 less HP is more fun to drive than the auto. That is
a project for down the road. How is your swap...

Glad you unloaded it, just curious now much did you let it go for?
I guess something is better than nothing, hopefully it will bring another
318 back to life!

That's a good sign that you didn't see any coolant in the valve cover. Usually
there would be some on the oil cap. Good luck! Let us know what happens.

Start when the car is cold and yes have the heat in the car on full blast.
Once the coolant starts coming out the bleeder screw, put it back in but keep

My guess would be since you have some heat, you still have air trapped in the system. These cars are a pain to bleed properly. It's best to have the car on ramps, front end jacked up or on a hill,...

Soft clutch

I open up the cap on the brake master cylinder to have a closer look at the fluid.
