Oh...I think the clutch wear out real fast...
vibrations and sudden increment of exhaust note (slippage of clutch) were signs then that I have to look into replacing the clutch again...
also the idle control valve was replaced twice already...

Looks like all 318is owners are freaking out on this gasket thing...I have a '94 318is (driven hard) and I just have the gasket repaired and replaced...it was leaking so I got the car checked out by the dealer. So I guess a leaking engine should be a sign of it failing...
total bill comes to about US$900 i think..


I have a 93 318is. I heard the profile gasket should be replaced. Should i worry about anything else. Its getting close to 100,000 miles.
