Check all the wires. Especiality the ground wire.
Battery terminal.
And grounds mounted on the intake.
Normally when no codes are present, Is a lost of electrical power.

SOURCE: revs drop and car keeps cutting out

1. Check the Air Mass Sensor and the connections.
2. Check the throttle module
Checking can be done by diagnostic tool.

My fuel gauge says its empty

Your fuel costs too much, put more in it. Other wise, it probably has a faulty sending unit(sensor) Fill it up and see what it says then. Set your trip gauge and check the mileage or what ever u use there.

Heya, i got a E36 320i auto coupe. its not overheating standing, but its red hot after driving it a mile

this sounds like a water blockage, take off the water hose that goes to the engine block, start the engine, and see if there is water flow going to engine...if this is the problem, then you need to buy an engine flush fluid, and flush out your engine....please be carefull, as the E36 320i, has an aluminium head, and is easily warped by heat

Motor cutting out

BMW CUTS OUT
A few things to check.
  1. Is fuel pump delivering enough fuel.
  2. Is injectors clean. Perhaps dirt in fuel. replace fuel filter
  3. Air leakage at top air intake of manifold at ICV idle control valve. Two hoses inside this housing prone to perishing.
  4. Throttle position sensor faulty.
  5. Mass air flow sensor faulty.
  6. ICV faulty or dirty. comon fault on older e36.
Havent done it yet but ICV is easy to clean according to internet. instruction available at bmw e36 blog. All off above can be tested by yourself according to manual.
