About Josh Fields 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.
Question I have a 1987 325e and i can't seem to get any fire. i have tried the coil, wires, relays, the 2 sensors that are connected to the transmission area. I tested the ECU ignition control module and still no luck. I don't have no fire period..I'm taking all these parts off and putting them to my running e30 to try to ? Car was running but cut off and i could not get it started again..What do you think could be the problem? Thanks Anthony..
Answer Anthony,
You are on top of the game here, as those are all the things I would have had you check out. It sounds like its the sensors that go on the transmission to me, so maybe you should test them again to be sure?
You have checked all the problem areas that will/can affect the ignition. There really isn't anything I can help you with besides telling you to double check the ECU and tranny sensors again. I cant see the car in person, so I'm not going to be of much help.
