Suspension / springs for vert

You might want to call Bav Auto about springs, I bought a set for my cabrio about a year ago. They are discontinued, but they did have several left in stock. Maybe worth a phone call. Very nice lowered stance.

Actually Eibach did make springs specifically for the vert, but they were also discontinued several years ago. Might look for a used set.

Mine came original with a tan cloth interior. Unfortunately, it has been completely removed so no pics.

I am not sure on all the interior colors but your local dealer could tell you. Get ready to spend some Mooolaa. Just picked up a tan carpet set from the dealer for $510 and that was at wholesaler price. Personally I think the black (charcoal) would look good with tan leather but I stuck with the tan on tan.

Exterior / Replacement Top for 1991 318iC?

« on: April 04, 2008, 06:28:37 AM »

BMW recently had a price adjustment on all parts and tops from the dealer go for $2000+ now (was around $850 6months ago). I just ordered a replacement top from Bavarian Auto for $600 and it will arrive on Monday. From the research I have done this top is second only to the OEM top and is a perfect fit. This is where Bavarian Auto gets there tops http://www.gahh.com/ There are three choices of canvas from the manufacture. After speaking with them directly I went with the Sonnendeck Canvas and was told to avoid Stayfast Canvas.

There is a video you can buy that is easy to follow for top installation, but I am having mine installed. I here it is not a easy job.

Hope this helps.

Electrical / fuel pump or relay??

Yea, before I go drop $200 on a pump I'll check the voltage. The car has
120k on it.

Thx for the responses.

when you put the key in the on position (the one before cranking) you should hear a click out of the relay.
If you don't then follow AK's advise.

When I did the above, I heard 2 clicks from the relay. So that means the pump is bad??

Electrical / fuel pump or relay??

« on: November 10, 2007, 09:44:56 AM »

Hello everyone, for a little background. I am restoring my wifes 1991 318ic which has become a slow process of late due to $$.

Anyway, I replaced the ICV this morning, went to start her, and no familiar hum from the rear. The fuel pump is not running now.  So hence the title fuel pump or fuel pump relay??

I have a gut feeling it is the fuel pump but is there a easy way to check the fuel pump relay?

Thx in advance, Rich
