#1. Re: [E36M3] Brake switch part number - from JimShadow@aol.com

Date: Fri, 9 Jun 2000 00:15:45 EDT From: JimShadow@aol.com Subject: Re: [E36M3] Brake switch part number Peter, I went and grabbed mine out of the car (haven't put it in yet cuz the light doesn't come on anymore) and I don't see the part # on it. One thing though, when you go and pick one up, have somebody show you the trick to getting this thing out or you'll have a helluva time with it. If you are ordering one, then email me privately and I'll tell you about it. JIM '95 ///M3 (with a functioning Brake Light Circuit)

#2. 235/40's up front - from Jonathan Evans
Top
Date: Fri, 09 Jun 2000 05:29:46 PDT From: "Jonathan Evans" <jonathanevans@hotmail.com> Subject: 235/40's up front I've got a 95 with that exact setup on LTW wheels. Don't recommend it, but that's with the 95 suspension (less caster, smaller rear swaybar). Makes the car "floaty/twitchy" at high speeds. Still experimenting with different tire pressures. S-02's up front with RE71's in the back. Then again, my front shocks may be blown. I've heard that for spirited driving, 235 are too wide for a 7.5 rim. And, check me on this, it would create more oversteer if the front and rear are closer in width.

The switches came in two varieties with differing number of pins. The only way to be certain which one you have is to take a look at the old one. Remove the dash panel under the steering wheel. AJ

Clearly if we can tell big differences in performance from tire to tire it is unwise to mix tires with different characteristics on the same car.
