#2. [E36M3] Brakes (it never ends) - from twisty M3
Top
Date: Sat, 16 Sep 2000 16:27:12 PDT From: "twisty M3" <twistym3@hotmail.com> Subject: [E36M3] Brakes (it never ends) Hello all! Just got back from getting my rotors and lines changed and *was* going to get the fluid changed to ATE Blue but I was told that they couldn't do an aftermarket brake fluid because I'd need a Modic3(??) because of the year ('99) and the fact that the old fluid would be completely emptied out so they couldn't do it. So the brake shimmy is gone (goodbye warped rotors), but the brake pedal does still feel a little soft/mushy even though they bled 'em with stock fluid (no pressure bleeder just some sort of jar and tube set up??). I'm thinking there's probably air in the lines (unless the rotors would feel different when new but that doesn't make sense to me). So anyway, I've got 2 unused cans of ATE Super Blue... is there anyone (Jim P., Patrick S.?) in the So Cal area who happens to have a pressure bleeder, this Modic-watchamacallit, any other necessary tools and experience in changing brake fluid in '99 M3s who'd be interested in making a few bucks or a few beers and some food for helping a brother out? Jonathan L. P.S. BTW, anyone looking for an immaculately clean shop or just about any scaled down version of M cars, F1s, LMs, etc, Check out Bimmer's Clinic (bimmersclinicinc.com) in Reseda, CA.

While they are technically correct about the anti-lock not being bled without the modic, I wouldn't sweat it. Bring the fluid with you to Buttonwillow if you are coming and we'll do it there. Your pedal feels soft because there still is air in the lines. If you aren't coming to Buttonwillow, you can bring the car here anytime and we'll bleed them. Anytime after Buttonwillow that is. I'll be on a b'ness trip until I leave to go to the track. There's probably someone else in LA that can do it too. Or take it to Tri-Point if you want to pay someone. Remember to do the clutch too.

#5.BBS wrench & AC prob - from Rob Hatrak
Top
Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 00:27:56 -0700 From: "Rob Hatrak" <Hatrak@ix.netcom.com> Subject: <THANKS> BBS wrench & AC prob I'd like to offer my thanks to everyone that responded to my two previous posts. BBS RC Wheel wrench: Many people offered advice, several offered a better alternative wrench's part number, and one list member even offered to give me his extra wrench. The winning solution turned out to be ordering the new style wrench (BBS p/n 59.23.009) from the Tire Rack. There is NO way this thing will ever fail. What a wonderful surprise that this was available. No more wheel cap worries! AC problem: A lot of people were kind enough to email me and tell me that even after owning this car since 9/95, I was still in the dark as to how the AC system worked. I feel like a dummy! Thank you very much to everyone that helped me. Rob Hatrak 95 M3 Sin City Chapter

#7. Drinking problem?? - from Ben C. Tickner

I have always driven the car the same and have never had to add coolant. It sure is not leaking on the ground. I am starting to think that I might have one of those "bad water pumps". Did anyone figure out a tell-tale way of determining plastic or metal, besides disassembly? Thanks- Ben 95M3-thirsty-

I always use the jack plate though. Its damn handy, especially for jacking up the car and then sticking a jack stand underneith on the hockey puck. Between that and the oil filter design, this is the nicest car to work on that I've owned or even seen.
