hi,
car is an 92, 525i was hard to start, and recently engine shut off while
driving then after several cranks it's running again.
i got the engine flashing the code 1262 but was unable to find what it was
( it used to be on bonneville motor sport website ) i had the bentley
manual but it doesn't say either.
thanks

Subject: [bmw] Shifting in my 1984 318i
Hello,
I've got some questions about my 1984 318i 5 speed manual transmission.
This is my second car of the same year and model. In my original, the
shifting is crisp and clean - no wobble or slop in the shifter. In the
second car the shifting is incredibly sloppy but all the gears are there I
think. I mean, I can get from 1st to 5th and into reverse and the car
stays in gear and runs. The problem is finding the gear with the shifter,
especially 3rd gear.
I don't really have a clue about how transmissions work but my sense is
that the problem is not the transmission but the shifter itself and
probably the bushings - but I'm just guessing.
1. Any suggestions on how to tell if my guesses are correct?
2. If I'm right about the shigter, is it a good or bad idea to find a
used shifter and new bushings? Should I just
buy the whole thing new?
3. How come I can only find a "short throw" shift kit and not the
standard one that comes on the vehicle? Is it
really all that much of a performance boost to install short throw?
4. I'm no mechanic but I've got my Bentley manuals (for all my BMWs), how
much of a wrench-stud do you
have to be to install a new shifter - assuming I own or can get all
the right tools?
Last thing, I have another very beat up 1984 318i 5-speed. The body is in
awful shape but (miraculously) the engine runs or did when tried starting
it in early November. Anyone need parts or an engine? If you need it and
I've got one, it'd be cheap!
Thanks for the help, I love my BMWs and love reading about all your cars...
Enjoy!!
Liz Sayre
