[QUOTE="Lee36328, post: 164995, member: 113"] Hi Rubes72, Do you have an e36 328 as well? 12 km per liter is unbelievable. That works out to be 8.33 liter/100 km. Either re-check your calculation, or sell me your car! I wanna know how you got that kind of consumption! I'm getting 11-12 litre/100 km at the moment. Seriously, your gearbox, at 279k km, is due for a rebuild. Do you know whether a rebuild has been done before? Typically it lasts 150-170k km per rebuild. Yes, those symptoms are exactly the signs that a rebuild is due. My take on recond gearbox? Unless you find a source you trust, preferably w some form of warranty, I would not recommend it. It's better to try to rebuild your own gearbox first. If the housing is worn out, and the rebuild becomes too expensive, only then would it make sense to consider a recond gearbox. Glad to hear you are enjoying your ride. It's a beautiful machine. Take care of it, and it will give you plenty of enjoyment. I was at Kemaman recently. It had some nice, straight roads. Had a taste of the famous Hai Peng coffee too. Quite a legend. [/QUOTE]
