Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2000 18:01:03 -0400 From: David Ngo <dngo@commvault.com> Subject: RE: [E36M3] UPDATE on Racind Dynamic Splitter GP The issues raised by Peter are pertinent to almost any splitter addition that reduces ground clearance. 1. Fit - I can't address that one. 2. Problems parking - If you have to park front end in towards a curb or wall, you run the risk of scraping up the splitter by hitting the obstacle. You'll have to be careful to park farther away than normal from any object in front of the car. 3. Standing on the splitter - that's funny! It never occurred to me that someone might try to stand on a splitter. Not much footroom. 4. Damaging the bumper if the splitter hits something - I'm unfamiliar with the way the RD Sport splitter attaches to the bumper, but if it's very secure then it's possible that an object that hits the splitter (which might not have hit with the stock splitter) may cause the bumper to give way. The stock splitter will pull off first before any major bumper damage occurs - I found this out the hard way. Nothing against RD Sport splitters or this GP, just thought I'd clarify Peter's post.

I went to my local BMW dealer and found out that these screws are supplied with the CD changer only. Doh! Anyway, does anyone know the size and preferable a source for these screws? TIA. -Geof
