New michigan member Alright guy I'm a member of the military, married with a family just picked up my first BMW. I purchased a 1998 BMW 318TI with 189k has kind of a beat up body but it's spent some time in michigan and the motor runs pretty good I am taking it in to get a full check up tomorrow. My main question is the car currently has a motor with a air pump on it. Can I switch it out for a motor w/o a air pump. I have found a couple motors with out a air pump but none with. I just want to build up a fresh motor incase my fails ever. I am completely new to BMW's I have dealt with dodge, Chevy , ford, and Chrysler also with Boeing aircraft but this is a whole new game for me. Are there anyone on the east side of michigan that is good with BMWs that would like to teach a noobie on BMW |
