Sina's BMW 318i: Project Re-Shell & Beyond! (Starting Page 46)

[freeride53]

car was parked right hurr, next to my school's gate
he clipped the rear driver side corner of my car.
needs taillight, corner trim, and the rear quarter needs to be pulled/painted.
I feel bad for the guy, but I'm not going to have my car replaced with non-OEM/professional parts,
I've had it going up to now..

(same spot as the G35 below)
I guess the dude tried busting a u-turn in his expedition, and hit mine.

Beat his ass while it's still legal

[trackjunkie21]

Atleast your getting money for it, other people would just run off.

These 318i's all breed the same issues. My fan just started working on all settings randomly though. The funk is a Volvo electric fan mod? I'm dropping my piece at the body shop tomorrow hopefully if they're open

[freeride53]

Oh no, not the bold again. :D
Volvo e-fan. What happened to yours?

[trackjunkie21]

I already told you the problem with your fan, It's the damn blower resistor.

thanks. i think i rememembered that I tried doing this a few months ago, but couldn't find it, for one reason or another...is it the same on 318i's?

Nah I dont think it is. I was gonna do it too but I said fuck it because I didnt feel like unwrapping all my wires which were in the way. Maybe you'll get lucky like me and it will just start working

Nice quote. Bring it on if you think you can hang!
Jay x DJ Premier = unfuckwithable

[freeride53]

Hah, It's been that way since even before I bought the car
Yeah, definitely fuckswith Reasonable Doubt...but It was all I had in my car for two weeks :(

[freeride53]

The Blower-motor shit really isn't that hard!
I took it all apart, and tried cleaning the resistor boards' contacts, thermal switch, and coils... but it was bad :(
so back in it went, and back at it I am, shopping for a new one.
