IMO, I fail to see the connection of ANY engine, regardless of type, HP, # of cylinders, compression, etc failing due to the SOLE sustained use of a lower or higher octane fuel.
Really? I couldnt see a fuel that was too high of an octane causing engine problems, but there is plenty of evidence to prove that too low of an octane can hurt your engine(since we're talking about ANY engine here).

You sure are aggressive for a site admin...Quote
Huh? The guy seems to know what he is talking about and likes the cars, what does his being the admin have to do with his views? Its not like he banned anyone for their opinion, we're all just having a discussion.

Some m42's came with a single mass flywheel. Get one, and get it lightened if you want.

If you read your manual you will find your way of driving your 318 is not good for it. The manual tells you you need to get it up above 3k regularly. In fact they give a ratio of how much above and below you should spend.
These cars were meant to be flogged, not granny shifted.
I did not know that. I think I still have the manual that came with the car, ill have to read it

My fuel pump made some noise too when I first bought my car, 3 weeks later it died. An extra one of these laying around is good to have. I was left stranded at a stop light in the middle of rush hour when mine went out (only time the car let me down). Been able to collect 2 spares since that time for maybe ten bucks total.
HA! Me too! Middle of an intersection, twas fun. Glad to have the car trailer, dad came out and picked me up. Just got the car running, so tools were still in it, and I was able to take out the fuel pump and determine that it was the problem while sitting in the intersection. Had a brand new spare at the house, was up and running again in 10mins. Ahh, great memories with the e30. Now back to the thread.:p

I usually run 89, and occasionally a tank of 91. I can locally get 87,89,91,93,and 100 at the pumps. If I go inside the gas station I can get 110 unleaded. Boost on 10:1 compression ftw!
