You might find a similar thing! If not have a look on Schmeidmann's website! They have got loads of genuine BMW parts and after markets parts. You should find something on there but expect to pay quite a bit for it tho!
-
I found an adapter plate for my air filter so that it could take a cone filter! I you have a little search on eBay y
-
If one pipe is larger then it will defo head towards the inlet manifold, the other one will probably head towards a sensor! Make sure you don't losen any of the pipes at the sensor because you could have the same issues I had with crazy idling :-)
-
Two hoses from the air box? Is the car an e36 4 cyl or 6 cyl? Where do the two pipes go? I know for the M42 1800 4 cyl there is a Bosch air flow sensor connected to the air box then from there, a single pipe which T's onto the intake manifold and another smaller pipe heads to another Bosch sensor underneath of the manifold? Not to clued up on the 6 cyl M50 engine tho to be honest but I'm sure some of the lads on the forum will probably know what both pipes do! Hope this helps a little bit tho
-
Nice one for the comments! Yeah I would rather attempt to fix it than just hand it over to mechanic and get charged a fortune! Since the car has web running with the cone filter I haven't seemed to have any problems with the air flow sensors playing up. Once I have the decat pipe fitted tho I am going to get her remapped so that she is fueling correctly! Don't want to run her to lean or rich and risk damaging any of the internals!

Thank you for all of the advice with my problem, managed to sort it out now! Ended up taking the air intake manifold off of the car, cleaning it all up and re gasket all of the connections! Actually runs better than before! Thanks tho :-)
-
It's an induction kit as well, not a replacement filter
-
Having listening to the car try to run it sounds like its an air leak around the intake manifold! Sounds like a wooshing noise :-( hopefully just a split hose or a dodgey gasget!

I recently fitted an Performance air filter on to my e36 318is and it has caused the engine to idle erractically! I have checked all of the hoses for splits and I have cleaned up the Bosch air flow sensor and plug connections but it is still playing up? I have even fitted the factory standard air box and filter back on to the car with no luck? I was wondering if the ecu has gone into fault mode, the engine idle switch is faulty or has the Bosch air sensor broke down? Any advice would be great, thanks

Well the car was for sale for £400 quid with only 75000 on the clock and a full BMW service history! Thought it was a bit of a bargain! Not a thing wrong with the car apart from the auto box!
-
Cheer for the advice mate! Think I will probably go for the fk automotive set up! There is a place local to me which supply, fit and then corner balance and laser align the set up! I don't suppose you know any one that's crazy enough to attempt an automatic to manual gearbox conversion?

Hello all! I'm looking at putting a set of coilovers on my e36 318is! I have shopped around and found some really cheap sets? I was wondering if there are any good or whether I would be better off saving up for a more expensive set! I'm not going to be using them for track days to much just the occasional b-road fun? Any seggestions would be great, thanks
-
Thanks for the advice lads :-)

Hello members, my name is Dan and I have just brought my first BMW! It's a 1994 E36 318is in alpine white, immaculate body work, 75000 miles on the clock with BMW full service history and the best thing of all is she only cost me £400!!! Hopefully have some pictures up soon....

Hello all, I have just brought my first BMW for an amazing bargain but the exhaust back box is blowing! I'm looking to replace the system for a full stainless system but I was wondering what system to go for, for power gains/ value for money? Any info would be greatly appreciated, thanks
