Hi, Ive just bought my first car a 1987 BMW e30 323i (i believe) off a family friend. I dont know alot about cars thats why im here for some guidance and direction in what to do and how to go about doing it. the car idles but if you were to drive it in 2nd gear once the revs get up it begins to conk out, also i cannot shift it into reverse and the electric sunroof doesnt work but it trys to if that makes sense. it has had an engine swap to a m52 from an e36 any and all help is appreciated! and any tips on what i should be doing first! thanks
dang, once you said engine swap, I cannot help anything more than basic stuff. I know nothing about that stuff. some others will get on here and help though.
congratulations, also
No e30s again.
Welcome!
Best get the codes read, and see it reveals anything about the conking out. Sounds like a fuel delivery issue, but I'm no tech.
Is your shifter in a weird angle, as if it's in 3rd gear when in neutral?
In that case, remove the knob and the rest of the cover (don't know what it's called) that's around the shifter. You will get enough clearance that way to put it in reverse.
