I am doing up an 1986 318i and I can't get it to start. I have it narrowed down to the ECU or the distributer unit. The only problem is mine is the rarer (and nicer!) chrome bumper model and any breakers or bmw crowd I rang don't have this model and say the facelifted E30 318i has different ECUs and distributer units. If anyone knows where I could get second hand ones I'd appreciate it. Cheers.

One of the guys "Roundymooney" over on e30owners.com recently rebuilt a pre facelift 318i, im sure he has compiled a good few numbers of parts suppliers for that model.

I should have listened to you at first!! I replaced the distributor, ecu, coil and leads and it still won't start. I rang John Murphy in Birr and he also said to try the crank sensor. Where exactly is this located? Thanks for any help. Edited by keithc |
