So a month or two ago i purchased a 1991 318is with 137,700 on the clock. I bought it with $2,000 in receipts from the last year that the po owned the car. I wanted to do a proper intro with pictures etc. but I've been lazy. Anyways today i was driving in manhattan when all of a sudden the brake fluid, brake, parking brake and battery light came on along with the brake lining light that has been on. Thennn the car started running hot around the 3/4 mark, the car usually runs in between the 1/4 and halfway mark never over. So I pulled over and checked everything. Brake fluid was fine, coolant was fine, oil was fine etc. But the temp gauge stayed over 3/4 I put the heat on and it didn't even blow hot, just cool the entire time. When the temp gauge hit the red the cel came on, I pulled over and let it cool down. I made it home with the hood open and the heat or lack there of on. Sorry for the essay but this is my first thread, if anyone has any thoughts or could help in anyway I'd appreciate it. thanks. -Joe
