can be predicted. Until you can figure out the set of conditions that causes it to misbehave, you are going to have to live with it. I know it sucks but it could be 100s of things and there is no use replacing 100s of things just to find the one. Good luck and I am glad that it is doing better.




82 528e X 2 (US) one died in a accident the other was traded in with >400,000 miles
86 325 (US) 150,000 miles
87 325eS (US) 220,000 miles died saving my life someone tried to hit me head on
88 528e (US) x2 >200,000 and still going strong, the other >300,000 miles saved my sisters life, but gave its own (head on collison at 120 mph what an idiot, she was doing 55 in the other direction)
89 528i (US) 270,000 miles Gave up the ghost, only one I have seen not to make it to 300k before dying on its own (low compression in cyln 3-6 and no combustion in cyln 2 and broken intake rocker cyln 1 but, it still ran drove to dealer to trade in)
90 325iC (US) 140,000 miles
91 325iC (US) 190,000 miles saved my life but gave its own (T bone to drivers door at 45 mph)
94 325iC (US) 160,000 miles
98 750iL (US) 180,000 miles
01 325i (US) 30,000 miles
Now you know why I drive BMWs it is not about the money it is not about the glamor they save lives, they drive exceptionally well, and they last forever.
