I ended up getting it fixed, Actually they thought they had fixed it but the lights came on again as we were leaving and they found the real fault by scanning it and they fixed it for free.. Took it for a couple test drives and all is fine finally.

I relisted the auction as I wanted to update the auction and trademe won't allow it unless the reserve isn't met.

Looking around $4k for it.

Tradme Auction

Selling my 318ti as I need the money.

178k I have only done 3k of that as I haven't owned it long.

Has a problem that I have stated on Trademe

Was hoping to get around 3-3.5k for it, but need the money fast for my upcoming wedding and move so I stuck it on $1 reserve.

Hopefully it is gone for good cause I am trying to sell it

EDIT-Problem has occurred again, so could be alternator according to jeff gray bmw. Anyone know the cost of replacing an alternator?

took it in to jeff gray bmw, turns out it was a fault from my old battery that was going flat.

I have a 318ti and every once and a while when I start the car it will start and then start to rev up and down on it's own and then two warning lights come on the dashboard and for the whole drive the car will randomly lose power when I slow down, it feels like it jerks into first gear.

I attached the two lights that appear, if anyone can help me out with what they mean, because my manual is in japanese and I can't find anything on the web. Thanks

Hi everyone,

I have just purchased my first bmw, a 97 318ti, very happy with it, comfortable seats and great power, big difference from my old subaru. I just joined the forums today and already have learned a bit from reading posts.
