Okay I need quite a bit of help. I know absolutely NOTHING about BMW. I recently purchased an E30. It is an absolutely beautiful lil convertible waitin to be pimped out.
The only thhings i have done so far are: oil change. air filter cleaning, changed from stock lights to Silver Stars, added Rislone to the oil, and some bottles of fuel injector cleaner.
I do have an advantage: I am a student at the local college in the automotive program which allows me to get ANY part for 50% off the price! Yes, sweet indeed
So Let me get to my questions:
1- I'd like to get a history of the vehicle wiithout going through carfax. IS there anyone here that can possibly run my VIN for me?
2- I am hearing knocking in the engine.People have told me it is the lifters, What other problem(s) can this be?
3- I had a remote start installed but they could not do the power locks because of the trunk being the spot that you can unlock the car? Is there a relay or something?
4- I am looking to really get the engine in shape. The odometer says 173K+ but it also doesn't work! what should be my pimary focus?
5- Because it is a convertible, the back window is plastic. Can this actually be tinted?i spoke to Ziebart and they say they can do the back window because it will peel; Any suggestions?
I will post photos this week of Janet( named after Joyce Dewitt)...
