#2. Dealer leather restoration... - from Juan Rico
Top
Date: Sun, 28 Jan 2001 13:39:20 -0800 From: Juan Rico <juan_rico@captionsinc.com> Subject: Dealer leather restoration... I'm taking my car in Tuesday for some work. Long Beach BMW has a leather restoration service which runs $300 for both front seats. According to *them* the results are spectacular, although they do warn that it won't do anything for any major cracks in the leather. Anybody have any experience with this? Is it worth it? I know all about Leatherique, and Leathermaster, unfortunately, I just don't have the time, or the inclination for that matter, to follow that route and do it myself. All I know is that I have to do something about my seats! Thanks! Juan.

#5. Heel and toe - from Ed Tang

Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2001 05:23:45 -0800 (PST) From: Ed Tang <etangf1@yahoo.com> Subject: Heel and toe Some people do that. It's all about what you are comfortable with. As long as you don't do it so awkwardly that you wrap the car around a pole. The most important thing is to get the timing right and do it smoothly. I'm still working on that. I'll nail it perfect maybe 60% of the time. The other 40 is when I don't rev it up quick enough and you get the little pull from the engine (not good)from being at a lower rpm. Good luck.

#6. E46 M3 looks - from Richard Sperry
Top
Date: Mon, 29 Jan 2001 09:52:35 -0500 From: "Richard Sperry" <richardsperry@home.com> Subject: E46 M3 looks The E30 M3 looked the way it did, not to differentiate it from the reg E30, but because it had to. The fender flairs and wing were added to make the car competitive when racing. the new E46 looks the way it does for the same reason. Racing has changed, to race an E46 look at what PTG has to do. If I had a new M3, I don't think I would care too much about how it looks. I would know, underline, know,( limitations of plain text) it was bad as hell.

The low end will get you into more trouble than being on the high end. Best regards, Rich
