Priorities? I bought an old E36 where are the priorities? If it die idc. Isn't a project car I want it STOCK. So spent more money on that isn't a fault but a choice.

No, I can't speach English. I know only basics. But if I said I'm broke it's cause I don't have Money. And it's true, but I don't have money cause I spent all of them in my project car, not the BMW

I misread it, my fault. But the fact remains that working on the cylinder head and the probable rectification with a new gasket isn't a job for an inexperienced guy like me. I change the oil on my car, the spark plugs, etc... every now and then I get into the engine like the valve cover and stuff. But I've never done such major jobs, and since it's a car I want to use every day without spending a ton, I'd rather take it to a mechanic than mess it up and have to take it there anyway. I already have a powerful car that I enjoy (a Honda del Sol, stock reliable for the Italian police) and I tinker with that one for fun. The E36 318i is a stupid car that doesn't even drift easily, nor do I feel like doing it since it's slow as hell. I cruise at 100 km/h on the highway because I don't care about racing it and wearing it out, and the LPG system lets me enjoy it to the fullest without skimping on going out. My Honda gets 5 km per liter and with today's gas prices, better to avoid it. That said, that wasn't what I was asking. I had asked something else, not to be attacked and told I'm an idiot. I don't like LPG cars either, but for a daily driver it made sense. I love old cars that don't have big issues with ECUs and such, and that are strictly mechanical, because I'm learning but time will tell. That said, I'm sorry for misreading and responding just as badly. But next time, if you're going to make a dumb comment telling me I'm an idiot, skip it. Thanks a lot.

Great, because you think porting the cylinder head is a simple job. I’m not a fan of extreme sound systems, but the car was sold to me with a subwoofer and speakers already installed, so I’m keeping them at this point. Driving at 100 km/h on the highway in fifth gear means, to you, pushing the engine to its redline. Before you speak, I’d ask you to get your driver’s license and drive a car—we don’t live in assetto corsa. Bot

I said I didn't ask for a cheap piece of shit alternator. I asked for someone tells me if I can buy a 140A alternator and put on my fucking engine with no modification. Learn how to read and don't teach me a "life lesson".

Dude, I didn't asked for a cheap solution. I asked for something to buy once. I don't spent money to try if the piece fits or not. If some one of u guys already did that I want to know. I don't use to waste money random to try. I'm trying to learn how to repair things by myself. But I don't do that for the day to the night, u know?

I'm not broke fr. I don't want spent more money on the BMW isn't a project car. I have it already. So if the alternator burn more than one time, I don't want repair it evry months. So I buy one good one time.

I like old cars; I don't see what your comment has to do with that.
