Hello there: To be honest with you This would have to depend on the current owner on if he maintained it well and if he did not constantly drive it hard and if it has high mileage over 100 thousand miles if they tell you that several things have been replaced this is a thing that may tell you that this has issues also if you look at the engine and see a lot of oil everywhere or dosent look like it is in good condition this would be a turn off to me. and if a car smokes or does not run smoothly this is a nother area of concern ok if something doesnt seem right 8 out of 10 times you are right it is not ok? Hope this is very helpful Best regards Michael
The M70 has two fuel pumps; one for each cylinder bank. One of mine died. I was able to access the fuel lines at the drivers side (US) rear of the engine. I spliced in a 10mm "Y" connector to the good pump and tied the two fuel rails together temporarily. Runs like a champ!
have you tried reversing the pipes and see if that makes any difference other than that there must be a pressure difference between the two pumps try priming the filter with oil before starting.
Also, the link below is to provide you schematics for your engine wiring harnesses. You did not indicate which engine you had (diesel or gas). The link provides access to schematics for both engines. http://www.bmw-planet.com/diagrams/release/en/e38old/index.htm From the main menu, select: Drive, then your engine and then select engine electrical system. As far as the cause, you didn't mention what the source of the fire was. Check online for recall notices for your specific model. A google search will yield several links to sites that list recalls for yyour vehicle. It will let you know if there are any known issues regarding engine compartment fires for your model....
