----------This will help. Thanks.

I'm going to guess you meant a 1993 BMW 318i just because...

The four cylinder order is 1-3-4-2. Sixes are 1-5-3-6-2-4.

timing belt positioning for 318i bmw 1997

There are 2 engines used on the 318i. One has a chain the other a belt. The M40B18(1990-1993) uses a cam belt and the M43B18(1993-1998) a chain.

turn key to 1st position insert a 1.2 mm rod (blunt end of a drill bit) down the hole at the side of the lock barrel puch detent in and pull barrel out with key!

hard but possible.
if you dont have mechanical skills , better to leave it to someone with knowlage.
a/c belt and radiator fan has to come out if you dont have lift.if you have access to a lift , then only a/c belt .

check the internet for a bmw e36 ETM ( electronic troubleshooting manual) everything you need is there.

sounds like the resistor in the side of the blower unit has failed. try replacing that.

Hi some of them have a belt but yours being the M43 engine is a chain, the only thing to listen for with them is chain slap or an rattling around the chain area, a bit of research on the M43 engine also shows that the chain should be changed after 100000 miles as they become weak, Just joined here and found this unsolved i know its a bit late but hope the extra info helps
