Not sure about the Siemens-equipped OBDII cars, but of the OBDI E36's, only 92 (non-VaNoS) 325's used the hot wire setup. All other 325's/M3's use the hot film. -Matt ___________________________ -----Original Message----- From: Paul Elliott [mailto:pelliott@rcn.com] Sent: Friday, July 14, 2000 7:24 PM To: E36M3 Subject: [E36M3] Re: HFM question Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 19:16:08 -0400 From: "Paul Elliott" <pelliott@rcn.com> Subject: Re: HFM question Mill, >Nope! HFM means Heat Film Meter. It's a heated wire, which gets cooled down from the intake air flow. If the temperature of the wire changes, the electrical resistance of that wire changes also . So, basically you can measure the amount of air that flows thru the HFM by detecting the electrical resistance of that wire. < Then why isnt a HWM for Hot Wire Meter? That is, arent 2 different but similar methods used: one uses the hot wire you refer to, but the other uses a small piece of film. Do we know for sure that our E36s use the wire instead of the film method? _____________________________ Paul Elliott '99 Alpine White M3; <20000 mi; Forged M dbl-spokes; Rotex pads; Dinan Stage II Supercharger ************************************************************* List Commands UNSUBSCRIBE - (in subject line) unsubscribes you from the mailing list. *************************************************************

#2. BMWCCA Raffle!!!! - from Chester Wong

Date: Fri, 14 Jul 2000 20:56:09 -0700 (PDT) From: Chester Wong <chester_p_wong@yahoo.com> Subject: BMWCCA Raffle!!!! So guess what I get in the mail today. In this year's Oktoberfest, they will be auctioning off a 2001 E46 M3. Pretty cool. I forgot what were the chances for last years M5, but in this year's, the stakes are 1 in 2500. Not bad... =) Also, I received my copy of Autoweek today and saw a picture of the prototype E46 323ti =). They also showed that Mercedes and Porsche are racing to get ceramic rotors onto production vehicles. I'm already salivating at the thought of a Porsche big brake kit with ceramic rotors (hopefully I don't have to sell a kidney to get them)....I believe you'd be saving something like 10 lbs of spring weight per wheel, no? ...not to mention no warping.. I wonder if they'll squeal like a stuck pig. Chester ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

I think I even remember hearing of a fellow lister saying that he/she got accepted and will be mailing back the forms and stuff. I haven't seen anything in the mail to this date about the driver school. Have any of you? Thanks, Chester ===== __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get Yahoo!

No matter how many times you've seen it (even ONLY from TV/pictures), formula 1 cars are always impressive. Specially the Ferrari, MB-McLaren, and the beloved BMW-Williams (when are they going to win??). So you went to Monaco for the Grand Prix??

#7. Re: HFM question - from mill

Date: Sat, 15 Jul 2000 09:19:27 +0200 From: mill <mill99@gmx.net> Subject: Re: HFM question Hi Paul, the thing, which I described is better described as "Hot Wire Meter". Is there a difference to the Heat Film Meter (maybe that's just 2 names for the same thing). I read about the heated wire thing in a German repair manual for the E36 320/325 and I'm almost sure that the E36-US-M3 uses the same sort of air flow measuring sensor. > Do we know for sure that our E36s use the >wire instead of the film method? If you take a look at your "HFM" you can see that wire inside. (At least it's like that with euro 1993 325 and euro M3 3.0). mill
