obviously, you lost oil, because of the "diesel sound" (like a TDI), which means you lost oil pressure and obviously oil all over the ground. So the best thing you can do is jack up the car, and try to see where the oil is coming from, and what happened to make the oil inside the engine go outside the engine.

then post back here.

hmmm... when I was off school I checked the oil and oil level was fine then the car ran fine till I got in the high way.. but I will check under the car tomorrow and will be abck with updates..
Thanks Sam

Your car is haunted.... No loss in oil level, but there's a puddle... Time for an s50 euro mated to the e46 six speed

wait what was the story again?? your M42 died at school, and then what happened? And where was the puddle of oil? and when did you check the oil? We need a chronology of events...

but I am the M42 wizard so i will figure this out! ;)

Dude, I have cash. Tell me when I can pick the car up.

i approve of this style of thinking.

Adam, you should totally sell your M42 car to Roland (i didn't even know you had an M42 car btw) and use the money to build your other E30, and then Roland can finally be one of the cool kids and have an E30.

Haha, although I'm considering going to collect this bad boy:

whoa that's pretty looking, but it sounds like it has a bit of mechanical problems. And the mileage does attest that this car lasts a long time, but also you may be digging into the motor/drivetrain soon for something. I personally think you can find a better deal if you keep looking.

btw, my car is off the market for the time being, it is getting a new(ish) 4.10 lsd from an E30 M3 (you da man, Ben!) and new heater components like a new resistor pack and I am trying to find another blower motor. I will also shod my car w/ some Falken ZE-912 rubber, and I may take it to autocross this November, and I am considering a track day at HPR, although it is highly unlikely with my current money situation.

besides, I sold the E28, and i really like my E30...

EDIT: after a quick CL search, not a SINGLE 1991 318is in the entire Mountain Central region...

Yeah, I don't even have the money yet. :(

Right on, glad to see you keeping it... (for now). Although I might try to buy it off you someday... Gonna need a DD once I sell the M3.

I know. FML.

There's some loony asking $3000 for his 84 318i on there too. :facepalm:

I really want a 318i (m10 based) or 91 318iS...
