#131 of 160 BMW 318ti Transmission Problems by jvcassimus Mar 18, 2006 (1:05 pm)
I have a 95 318ti manual 5 speed, It continues to pop out of first gear, my understanding is that this was because of a manufacturing defect of these transmissions. Last night we were finally rear ended due to this problem, I know that this problem was wide spread with this model,has anyone ever pursued this problem with BMW of North America? Because the dealers don't care and I really don't want to spend $3000 for a new tranny. HELP

#134 of 160 BMWTi -95 sports pkg HELP NEEDED........ADVICE PLS.... by bmwlover1 Apr 28, 2006 (12:42 am)
Hi, I m getting a used BMW Ti 95 model automatic(109783 miles) sports package sunroof black on black with a 10 cd changer and great condition overall for 4000$. Someone in my office is selling it. I drove it and ran just fine. I m looking to sell my Mitsubishi Galant 94(sports ls model) and buy the BMW, though my Galant is a 4 door and very very cool car(with sunroof et all). Would this be a wise decision? Just want to get that BMW feeling. Though the car is compact, yet has that remarkable style...the only thing i feel its slightly underpowered, after driving my galant (168 hp, 2.4 L) what should i check for before going in for purchase? Any suggestions,,,,plz help as i am planning to purchase this sunday. Thanks in advance, -Ash. Replies to this message: mrbimmer (Aug 28, 2006 6:57 pm) 318tigirl (Feb 27, 2007 2:09 pm)

Have the car checked out by a BMW mechanic. He (or she) will let you know if it is a good car to buy. Is the car you're buying stick or automatic? Replies to this message: bmwlover1 (Apr 28, 2006 10:43 pm)

#137 of 160 Cooling Fan by chucky_dogg Jul 18, 2006 (1:43 pm)
I have a 318ti and I have experienced some overheating. A mechanic told me that my electric a/c condenser fan does not turn on all the time when it should. I am going to replace it, but I understand there is a metal fan blade I could install that runs on the belt drive? Does this replace the electric fan?

Replying to: chucky_dogg (Jul 18, 2006 1:43 pm) From around 10/95 on the ONLY fan fitted to the ti was an electric fan which is mounted behind the radiator. There are temperature switches and a resistor pack which can also be at fault. Does the fan run when it is connected to a 12V power source? If so, the fan is good- a switch or resistor is the problem. If the fan motor is truly dead, you can replace it yourself in about five minutes. The only tool needed is a 10mm combination wrench or socket.
#139 of 160 Cooling Fan Again.... by chucky_dogg Jul 26, 2006 (5:11 am)
I was told by a mechanic that it takes 2 hours to replace the electric cooling fan between the radiator and engine. Then, I was told by div2 that it I could replace it myself in 5 minutes. Who is correct? I don't really want to pay for two extra hours of labor if I can replace it in a matter of minutes. Thanks. Replies to this message: div2 (Jul 29, 2006 8:11 pm)

Replying to: chucky_dogg (Jul 26, 2006 5:11 am) Well, you obviously can't figure it out for yourself, and you don't believe me-so go ahead and pay the guy for two hours labor.
