Question
bmw 316i year: 1991 touring
Whats the easiest way to adjust the tappets(not sure of spelling sorry)in the head?
Marie,
Unfortunately In the united states we did not get the 316i, and it was a different engine than our 318i. So I have absolutely no clue as to the valve adjustment on those engines. The best bet is to look in the owner's manual, or call a dealership for the info. I searched the internet and found no luck. It just wasn't a very popular car, so not many people write about it.
Good luck,
Josh

Expertise
I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.
Experience
I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
