I forgot to mention, you might have to play with the settings (button at
top) to get the image/mag. to fit on your screen.

Can somebody please tell me the location of the a/c evap housing drain (water)
for an E36 coupe... and can I get to this from underneath (mine doesn't seem
to be draining particularly well).

Right above the catalytic converter, so as the water drips down, it
becomes super-heated on the cat just before it lands on your cheek.....

Hello all,
I am in need of a new engine for my Spec E36 race car. It needs to be an
M50 engine from a 93, 94 or 95 325 or 525. Can you please contact me
off-list if you know of a good and/or cheap engine available in the
northeast? Im located in the Boston, MA area.
Im also interested in looking at a wrecked 325 where I could pull the motor
and tranny and part out the rest. Please let me know if you have any leads!
Thanks,
Mike Gilbert

My nephew is considering getting one as a commuter car instead of driving his
big pickup truck every day.
Car is an '86 318i 5-speed (still checking on mileage), in ok shape w/new
alternator, dist cap, plugs, etc.
Any issues on these other than the usual rust issues? $700 is asking price.
Do these things get decent gas mileage? I don't know anything about the older
1.8 liter motors (I was hoping it was a '91 iS, but no such luck).
My nephew can do all the mechanical stuff so I'm not worried about maintenance,
or even clutch replacement if necessary.
Cheers,
Kirk Lachman

If it runs, it is worth $700. If I took that car through the auction it
would do at least a grand...everything that runs does a grand at an auction.
If you take a family of four out to a nice restaurant these days...it costs
$200. Come on!!! :-)

Hi Kirk,
The profile gasket was known to fail on early M42 engines such as this. So if
it has not been replaced already.....it could need it soon enough and it is a
fairly involved (time) process. Perhaps a way to negotiate the already cheap
transportation price tag. ;-)
As for fuel mileage, it all depends on perspective. Compared to a big pickup
truck, it will probably be awesome. :)
I would not expect anything over ~25mpg though, depending on driving habits,
etc.
Cheers,
Chet Dawes

Just askin'. Thanks for the auction info though, that's great stuff to know.
I don't have parasites, errr, kids so I don't know what taking a family of four
out to dinner costs. =8^P
Thanks for the input.
Again, just trying to help my nephew out through the collective wisdom of this
forum. It isn't going to be my car and I don't live anywhere near him to have
to help him fix it. ;-)
Cheers,

The M42 didn't arrive with its teething pains until 1991.
This is an M10, well sorted out by 1986.
