Thanks I am just going to pick some up tomorrow at the junk yard. Also I took another bulb and put it in the check engine location and I still cant get the light to go on. how do you check the light and or what would cause the check engine light to come on or not come on?
Thanks much

At 7:00 am, I went to Bavarian auto and recycling in Sacramento and they where unable to help me. They wanted me to buy a new instrument cluster for $125.00 I said "No". Also they didn't seem very supportive in helping me or to like the 318is very much. So I went to European Performance in Cameron Park,Ca he wants to to a check the system to make sure every thing is working in order to have the check engine light work. That would be $150 for 1hr 30min of work. If I could be told how to do the work I would but I don't know how to check the system. If any one has any useful advice that would be great!
Thanks much
Jesse

I have fixed the bulb for the check engine light. I was told the light was in another place so I looking in the wrong place but I have now got it fixed and am going to get it smoged tomorrow! I am very happy to be done with that problem, but I have been driving the car and have noticed that the suspension has a wobble between 40 and 65. I am thinking ball joints maybe and or tires need to be changed? The tire are worn pretty well worn

Spot on with the diagnosis. I would check your inner and outer tie rods as well!
