    Turn out to be the fuel pump in all of them
    I'll probably fix that next. Figured it'll be something fuel related since I just did the engine.

      your car has 2 fuel pumps. it could be either of them. but do the tests i mentioned first before dropping 100s on pumps.

        the luxury of owning multiple e30's lol. I swapped fuel pumps to see if one was bad before and it was the fuel pump plug, so lame.

                  the 530i/535i is much better for maintenance tho. i worked on Dane's 540i and i vowed to never ever buy one.

                    Yeah, that's what I was looking for when I got the 330i. And I love the 330. So I want to get a clean 540 and keep both my other cars anyway.

                      Whole point of the car is the V8 and 6 speed, 530 is just a bigger boatier 330 with less gears

                        true but F the maintenance on the M62. the water pump took me and my dad like 4 hours. bc the damn hoses in the valley kept falling out. along with everything being so weird and awkward. then we did the window regulators and that has got to be the cheapest crap way to do a window ever... maybe some Alpha/fiat/citron is worse but i've never worked on those

                              You already live out of yours

                              There is just a bed in SF in close proximity to a beer dispensary... speaking of which, when's the last time you went to Toronado
