Anybody know if there is a specific Bentley guide for the 1991 318is?

No there isn't...E30 for the body..E36 for the engine..

There is a write up over at R3V. I did the conversion my self and the only thing I had to do was use some pre-made spacers under the rack (I think they are also for sale over at R3V) , dremel out the firewall a bit and "bend the PS hose to align properly. Did not have to modify my steering knuckle. I used a Z3 rack.

Engine + Driveline / Stuttering/Hesitation at 5k RPM.. has anyone figured this out? --- VIDEO INSIDE

« on: July 24, 2011, 08:01:50 PM »

Damn Alex, you beat me to it..I was thinking coding plug also.
And also Dave has some good points. You can check the CPS (Crank) with an ohm meter. LINK:

I also believe that you can get the Crank and Cam sensors reversed as the plugs are the same. Check that..
Not sure about a check for the DME temp sensor, but that could also be your problem. I think I had a similar problem with mine years back.
Does it only do it when car is warmed up?
