hey guys, Is it normal for the driver side of the passanger to feel heaty or a lil bit warm? if ur talking about rusts, ive already did mine, change of floor board n also firewall right up to my batt area. any idea ? minor holes maybe?

My a/c is not working, blower is fine but during refilling the gas, there was a leak, not at engine area but inside. could it be the cooling coil? or just a leak? most likely area to leak? how much is the cooling coil if want to replace?

Gear box - using a e30 320, i have shifting problem at high RPM. 1st gear is alright but shifting gear 2nd to 3rd, vice versa, n also 4th gear to 3rd... how much to fix this? any repair kit?

Please advice all sifusssss!!! Very Happy thanks!

regarding the heat, maybe some holes or lack of heat insulator

For the AC, high probability is the cooling coil

For gearbox, try flushing it with new gearbox oil.

Cooling coil depends on your model. Mine mod to Japs and recently i changed cost me 1200 including new fan and blower carbon and of course service oso.

As for your gearbox... Clutch set maybe?

there is also probability of syncronization gears as my mazda having difficulty in shifting from gear 1 to gear 2, but no problem in high rpm though. U mentioned that you're having difficulty shifting at high rpm.

I had that problem before after changing to a brand new clutch. Seems that my previous mechanic doenst know much bout BMW as he's a Benz specialist, went to a proper BMW mechanic and that sorted out.
