318s only have a little engine... are you sure you're not just expecting too much.

You don't have a distributor because BMW used a much better system where instead of having one ignition coil connected to a dizzy, they have cone coil sitting on top of each spark plug.

A cheap and easy option is to try running a bottle of injector cleaner through your engine.
Another easy one is replacing the fuel filter.

If you believe you posses the skill you can play with the timing to try and extract a little bit more performance.

I would strongly suggest that you give your car a good general service. It'll most likely run better for it and will respond better to any adjustment you make to it.
