i've recently bought a used 318IS, 1996, 152,000Ks. overall its really
nice to drive - the engine could be quieter but it wasn't a major
concern. its not actually the noise so much as its a 'ragged' type
noise... if that makes sense lol. what's the best course of action to
take for noisy engine syndrome - is it likely to be anything specific
that's worn..? any info much apprec.
