For example, while in my friend's Myvi (m), I noticed he could run in 1st gear way longer than my E30 can. No matter how I balance the clutch and gas, the 1st gear doesn't last long enough which makes cornering out of a busy junction really challenging. What should I check/do? FYI.....the previous owner may have changed a thing or two.Sounds like the tuning is not right, please check your CO value...for the M40B18 it should be running between a value of 1.2 - 1.52nd: I want to get rid of the muffler (Apexi) the previous owner installed because its too loud and annoying. what exhaust should I get. Will the salesman take my current one in exchange? so I can get a new one cheaper... This is one of the reasons why you have problem no 1. For the 318i, the original exhaust works best. I have gone through several configurations in the past and found myself returning to the original. Not much of a sporty note but best power and fuel consumption. FYI, BMW bench tests their engines with their exhaust systems. The factory exhaust has been fine tuned to your stock engine.3rd: There's cold water leaking from the sides of the middle section of the dashboard when I make a sharp and fast turn. It's definitely air-cond water but I want to ask u guys if u know exactly what the problem is.The seals on the casing of your cooling coil is not good anymore and your cooling coil is dirty. Dirty cooling coils condense water very, very quickly and can lead to overflow in the casing. Check also your drain tube, is it blocked?</blockquote>
