Probably because someone from the North East wouldn't know of an indie down in Nottingham. Blame the BMWCCGB for the "North East" tag which stretches down to the South East & across to the Midlands!  Still, what problems are you having? Don't be shy, somebody somewhere will have had them too. We may be able to point you in the right direction. |

I'd have a look at your cold start valve/idle control valve. You can clean them out with white spirit or carb cleaner. There's a How-To guide on the Tech section of the E36Coupe.com site. You could also ask our tame expert, Jon Morgan of Prestige German Cars using the Tech Help link on our website, www.BMWClubNE.co.uk If that doesn't fix it then you'll need a diagnostic check to help track it down.
