Hi, I guess this is an E36. Head bolts should be renewed if heads been off, as they are stretch bolts. Tightened in 3 stages, 1st 30-35 nm 2nd + 90 degrees, 3rd + 90 degrees. Hope that helps

The codes are very extensive and tobe honest with you, Too much to even start to comprehend. If your check light came on, Changes are good it was triggered by an oxgen sensor. The vehicle can still be driven, It just means your emissions are incorrect. Not to worry, but have it verified which sensor and have it replaced. not too expensive. good luck, Ned

if you have the right code info it would be the "air control solenoid"

Check your local parts store for this...it may be a dealer only item though.

Check air filter

You car should have a harnas already installed. Sigma and stellar alarms are easy to fit according to pro's. visit bmw e36 blog for more details.

I've had an Idling problem with my 1993 318i E36. First, I would suggest getting the fault codes for your car. There are places where you can have these codes scanned for free such as autoparts stores. The fault codes will tell you which components aren't working properly. Based on my fault codes, I replaced the Idle Control Valve, the oxygen sensor, the camshaft position sensor, and the air intake boot. I could easily install all of these parts in less than an hour. All of these replacements cost me a total of about $200 and solved the problem completely. Granted, I did this myself. Look forward to the dealer charging you over $500 if you have as many problems as I did.
