  1. hi all im new to this site and new to owning a bmw i brought a 318 ci sport lastweek and its been fine then i turned the asc on and off and the engine managment lights come on and stayed on is this bad cheers phil

    Hi Phil welcome to the forum :D

    This may seem like a silly question and forgive me if im wrong but are you sure its the engine management light and not the traction control light.

    Either way if you turned it off again the light should have gone out.

    It may be worth popping it into the garage and enquiring, but maybe someone on the forum has had the same problem :unsure: Val

  2. Hello and welcome,

    Your 318 has very low milage for its age and i can imagine its very worth restoring as the engine has done hardly any miles.

    I would take a guide from ebay as to how much they are going for atm but i wouldnt give it away for a song. :unsure:

  3. or don't drive in snow / ice lol its a ruddy nightmare! lol

    I think nightmare is putting it mildly lol :blink:

    last year mine didnt move for a week in the snow, the only direction it was interested in was sideways!!!!!!!!!!

  4. Lol

    Had a lot of rain here yesterday, a bit twitchy with my heavy foot enven with the TC on.

    Fun though :rolleyes:

    nooooooooooooo take the traction control off its so much fun lol, only joking DONT lol, ive had mine 3 years im used to her and she does drift like a dream, big tip tho they dont do snow and ice you will need to take the tc off then. :o

  5. Cheers for the advice Greeney

    i know its not much comparison but I work in the 3.5ton truck business and I've had a couple of near scrapes messing about in transit van chassis cabs, which are rear wheel drive. With no body on the back of them they are very light and can be very twitchy through 1st and 2nd :rolleyes:

    I'll leave playing about in the BMW till im confident with it.

    lol soon she will be drifting like a dream !!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  6. yes i have all temps set to high, and i hear no gurgling sounds. but need a new radiator though as the one i have started leaking last night, so need to sort that out now...lol. i think it has gone at the seem, unsure but think its the e36 2.5i one. if anyone has any suggestions on where i can get one, would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the replies that have been posted so far guys. B)

    I have heating problems too. my climate control seems to work when and if it feels like it!!! but you can guarentee the air con works when its freezing and the heater sticks on in the summer.

    I have been told its a common fault and the unit needs changing. :blink:
