When I start my car and press the gas pedal, the car moves... I didnt search. Is this common with e36's? Maybe I used the wrong oil, or, maybe its the ebay headlights. Last week I did the FDM, I didnt search so that went really bad. If I just stick it back under the hood, will the fan still work? Oh yea, I wanna do a tranny swap but I'm stupid so I'm going to post that up and see if anybody has evvver done it before? AND I bought my 96 e36 for 15,000, is that too much? I'm going to post it again so people get mad and I can be like, what jerks, all i did was ask a question. So can anyone help me?
Edit: oh yea, i have this vacum line that is missing, anyone know what it is?

does your car drip green stuff from the bottom, run hot, and the heater doesn't work?
its ok... you just need to take a nice long drive at 90 mph.

anytime you glue or twist wires together, it is recommended that you wear rubber soled shoes, and make sure both feet are on the ground

Just a quick update on the cutting holes in your floor board to put feet through. I couldnt sleep last night so I started doing the holes in the floor board delete mod. It got pretty cold in the garage so I started up the car and turned the heater on to warm it up a bit, well by the time I was finished with passenger side of the car, it overheated and I blew out my headgasket. This sucks, I was so excited to try this mod.
Do you think I can still sell it for 14k? Its a 93 325

newbie. For future reference, just pour some coolant around the area of the floor you are cutting. As for selling it, your screwed. Just ship it to me. I'll do the jello mold head gasket replacement mod. (jmhgrm)

You were doing it the hard way... Didn't you see Fast and the Furious? All you need is nawz... 2 of the big bottles. It'll take care of those pesky floorboards. But only after you yell at your computer. You might have been able to save the headgasket doing it that way.

Ah, sounds to me like you have an oil issue. You may have to do a FDM for the oil to flow properly [less restriction] so that the gas can flow more smoothly to the engine. .............:paranoid:

+1 you must do that-- also when performing the FDM use plenty of asphalt to stop the leaks and use your mouth to suck all the leftover brake fluid from the intake manifold.
