SOURCE: Radiator removal BMW 316i

hi, the two clamps that secure the radiator have a small slot on the top, if you insert a small screwdriver into the slot and use it as a pry bar you should be able to unclip the holding clamp and it then releases like a hinge.

SOURCE: bmw 316i

hi markjones, the ignition switch can usually be removed without too much disassembly. First you will need to remove a plastic screw in the upper and lower trim covers. Seperate the covers. You should see a black plastic ring around the mechanical switch. gentley remove the ring. Next remove the rubber o-ring/band. With the key in the iginition and turned to almost to position 1, insert a heavy duty paper clip, or bmw special tool (about $30 from the dealer) into the small hole in the switch. There is a cam in the hole that needs to be twisted clockwise so the cylinder can be removed. When installing a new switch make sure to remove the little tab pice of metal that usually breaks off in the housing. Also be sure to make sure and reinstall the rubber ring/band because they are part of the ews system. If you key turns continuously, or is not able to be removed, the ignition housing and cylinder both will need replaced. Replacing the lock housing is about a 2 hour sequence and can be challenging. I would recommend a shop for that kind of repair.

SOURCE: bmw 316i overheating

check if the water is circulating as you might have a blockage in the header tank. this can be checked by opening the radiator cap and check if the water is circulating on top.

this model has a dodgy stat, the 2 little lugs which hold the stat centre to the plastic case can break off this lets the water bypass and so it doesnt heat properly

My BMW 316I 1997 model has a problem regarding its fuel mixed with engine oil in the engine crankcase... plss help. Tnx

Sounds like one of the injectors may be weeping. Also check for a bad fuel pressure regulator. Do not run with fuel in the oil, damage to crankshaft bearings and rod bearings will occur. A hydro-lock and explosion hazard also exist . When working on fuel components have a fire extinguisher available.

I have a 1995 316i BMW , this afternoon it started then a couple seconds turned off and won't start again . sounds like it wants to start but just won't. Any ideas?

That sounds like a neighbours car. He is having trouble with several different relays that despite having them changed they still keep failing. He is seriously considering changing the car as it is never ending.
I know that doesn't help, but if you have the same problems it might save you some money by thinking about changing the car earlier than originally planned.
