1991 318is 127k Yesterday my wife said she ran out of gas. Afriend drought her some in a can and she was on her way. I later put some more in the tank, and shortly after I pulled into traffic only to discover that the engine would not turn faster than about 1500 rpm. At this point the engine sputters and pops and the only thing to do is shift into the next gear and wind it all the way back out to 1500 rmp... very exhilerating. I do suspect the fuel filter first, presuming that she did in fact run out of gas yester day. But if this was the problem then, and she simply assumed lack of fuel... then I would appreciate it if someone has another thought. Thanks
