After replacing the mess under the intake, my $500 318i slicktop is brought to life! My goal is to have this thing completely running and driving well for under $800 total. So far i'm $612 into it, and all she needs is 1 more rear wheel bearing, tensioner, and an oil pan gasket.
Little bit of a tick, but at least she idles smooth now! Has to be the chain tensioner. I am ordering one of those and an oil pan gasket so i can pull that off and see if i have any bolts or plastic laying around in the pan. Cross your fingers. :) I love this car, there is nothing better for the money.
