Bob,

is yours and M50 engine? I too think it's the Charcoal canister..but hey..it's a BMW anything goes.Sure am Interested to know what the problem is.

Marti,
thanks for your input. I've just recently found out about the canister..have to by pass the canister until I get a new part. Car runs more effectively now.

Cheers
Dom

Yes it's the same setup, mind you I'm in the tropics, it gets pretty hot sometimes..and yes those days the engine sucks. But now, since I've bypassed the system it runs much better,not a permanet solution ! - Once you get the new can (it should be made of metal) for the E34s then I think you need to set Co2 again if it runs rich.

FYI - my mechanic told me that he had an E36 that actually blew off the connection hoses at the gas tank line feeding into the fuel line.Kept doing it a few times until they replaced the canister.Then the problem went away.

Cheers
Dom
