I just did my first school at Lime Rock last week, so I am not much of an expert, but it looks to me like he is turning in way too early for the uphill, and then losing it as he's trying to correct ? -Adam Fila '95 M3 ************************************************************* List Commands UNSUBSCRIBE - (in subject line) unsubscribes you from the mailing list. *************************************************************

#2. Slow AC? - from Peter Fanning

Once it's working, the air is very cold. After pushing the AC button, it takes as much as ten minutes before it starts working. Any ideas on what may be going wrong? TIA, Peter Fanning

Was a very easy project. The only thing that I didn't like was contemplating my vulnerability/mortality while under the car bleeding the clutch. JIM

Date: Sun, 17 Sep 2000 21:49:28 EDT From: JSDONE@aol.com Subject: Re: Need advice on reoccuring warranty problem I have had 5 documented problems with my M3 convertable top. All 5 times the dealership has performed the procedures to correct the problem, but with repeated problems of the same , I feel I have a deeper problem. Can the BMWCCA help me with the correct procedure of getting more help or should I simply go directly to the Customer Service Dept of BMW......I really believe it's a simple problem but I cannot live with the problem. I do not want to get rid of the car I just want the problem corrected... I do not believe this is a case of a lemon law deal. I just want to get this fixed and may need a higher level of intervention...Any advice is appreciated..

In every Roundel under Club Services (pg. 105 of the August issue) you will find contact info for Technical Advisors and Ombudsmen. I've never used their services; maybe someone will chime in with their experiences. Good Luck!
