wanna be 318ti owner loving this site

[Frby98]

Hey - after reading tons about various BMW models (always loved the mid 80s 5 series) think these are cool. They make so much sense for commuting and something to be passionate about. Haven't gotten to tinker too much but want to. Live in Greenville SC and are looking to drive some of these before I buy. Will keep an eye out for a manual. Not too picky otherwise. Looking forward to learning.

If you can't find the Bentley Repair Manual for this car let me know

Great! I'd love to see yours to learn more, if you are up for it.
Looking at your name, I take it that you have done a motor swap. That sounds great.

Don't be too trigger happy with that wrench. Tinkering is fun, however on these cars it is best to not do things just because you want to. There has to be an underlying issue existent [i.e. preventive maintenance, upgrade, or a problem]. Otherwise, in the words of a senior BMW mechanic, you inadvertently create problems.

looks like I don't have access to sent a PM to "1996 328ti" - is it because I don't have enough posts yet?

I think you need 5 posts before you can PM. That is another step to guard against spamming.
