1991 BMW 3-Series 318iS Description

I am probably forgetting a lot more too. Now what does it need AKA the bad stuff:

Oil pan gaskets leak again. I replaced them with OE BMW ones and used silicone sealant. They need to be re-done with something much stronger like Tough Stuff sealant. CEL comes up very rarely for misfire while on highway. However it never ever misfires or acts strangely. I am pretty sure its the COP coil (common failure point). Front fender liner studs broke when I removed them so I cannot re-install fender liners - need to tack weld new studs.
