The E36 model of BMW 318is has three most common issues. First, hot start problems may occur when the car is warmed up and turned off for a while like during a fuel stop. In a few minutes after starting, this issue seems to disappear. A hypothesis has been made that thinks that it could be linked to heat-sink problem, where a temperature sensor fails at high temperatures and forces the motor into cold engine running setup. The second issue is intermittent power loss and cutting out especially apparent during cruising or at cold starts accompanied with rich fuel smell. There are several potential causes such as the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS), Lambda sensor, Air/Fuel Ratio, DME relay or Crank Position Sensor. These components are critical for maintaining engine performance and stability; therefore, any malfunction in these areas can lead to the above described symptoms. Lastly, there is an ignition switch issue particularly under hot conditions. This problem manifests as a failure to start, with all lights functional but no response from the starter motor. Cleaning or replacing the ignition switch has been found to be an effective remedy for this issue. All together these issues reveal BMW 318is as a vehicle with certain weaknesses especially pertaining to beginning up, idling or maintaining uniform power output.
