One small point: the only thing this screw really does is hold the rotor in place during assembly. In normal use the rotor is secured by the wheel bolts. So there's no need to tighten it much, just firmly enough that it won't back out. > A light coating of anti-sieze is a good idea, too. You bet. Neil 96 M3

They ordered one, and I have an appt to install it on Thursday, but I wanted to note it here, in case any other '99s may have had similar issues. _____________________ Paul Elliott '99 Alpine White M3 <25000 mi Forged M dbl-spokes; Rotex pads; Dinan Stage II Supercharger; Stygar Short Shift kit and Clutch Stop; Skaggs Pedals; X-brace; Sound by Kenwood Excelon, Polk, JL Audio
