The wife has driven the 318 ti down the freeway while it was over heating until it died! Just tried to start it and it turns over but slow slow and wont start. I came back to find her with a new car and the bmw in the back yard dead... Bummer loved the car. What should I do with it since I'm sure it now has a blown motor? I only have a few weeks until I go back to our other home in Thailand and I want to get rid of it before I go. The car is in gret condition and had no problems until this. What do you guys think it's worth at this point? Any sugggestions?

She's bound to ruin your next car. I'd just prevent it now by doing whats right. Burn her drivers license. __________________ Come get a ti-shirt Quote: From the e30 M3, evolved the e36.

Something happened to the electrically heated thermostat, stuck closed (?) burst the coolant resovoir, over heated bad. He read about 10 engine codes, and checked each cylinder compression (good). Good thing he used synthetic oil! Fixed the coolant tank and thermostat. Working from the engine codes, replaced Oxygen sensors, 2 coil packs bad but replaced all 6, plugs and wires, a couple of oil changes with sea foam. It's back on the road. After the coolant tank and thermostat replaced, the car did run but with numerous cylinder misfire codes. He said it runs better now with the new plugs, coils, and wires. | | | 04-11-2009, 05:06 AM | #6 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 | DIVORCE!!!!!!!!!! lol sucks man. hope the damange isn't too bad. __________________ 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0t track | 2000 Dakota Former 1995 318ti owner | | | 04-17-2009, 08:07 PM | #7 | Junior Member Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Los Angeles Posts: 15 | | | | 04-18-2009, 06:41 AM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2006 Location: central ct Posts: 503 | put an s52 in it __________________ 2010 Genesis Coupe 2.0t track | 2000 Dakota Former 1995 318ti owner | | | 04-18-2009, 08:04 AM | #9 | Senior Member Join Date: Aug 2008 Location: Rocky Mountains Posts: 610 | Give it to Maverix! | | | 04-18-2009, 02:31 PM | #10 | Senior Member Join Date: Sep 2006 Location: Wisconsin Posts: 1,895 | Sorry to hear it highonthai.
