I have some doozies. Now when are you coming to Dallas to rewire my 4-way switch so I can move one of the 3-way switches? Lowell Seaton

I like the 4 spoke steering wheel too. The thumb rests put your hands at the correct position for performance driving. I never did the Mickey D cup holder trick though. My M3 has TWO (or is that four 1/2) cupholders. Lowell Seaton

#4. RE: UUC tranny mounts/enforcer - from Guillermo Molina

Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 05:01:19 -0500 From: "Guillermo Molina" <drwillb@msn.com> Subject: RE: UUC tranny mounts/enforcer I've had these on my car, along with the UUC competition evo/erk shifter for almost a year now. Immediate reaction was: WOW. Long-term results: WOW!!!! IMHO, this is a very high bang for the buck upgrade. I think that the stiffer mounting does a great deal to prevent the dreaded 5-2 downshift and the shift gates are right where you expect them to be on hard acceleration. The only downside is a very slight increase in cabin noise from the tranny. The mounts/enforcers along with the shifter are by far the best upgrade I've done. The shifter is 1000% better than the stock version. It does what it's supposed to do very nicely and it's very reasonably priced. Usual disclaimer: I have no connection to UUC other than being a fan of their products. Their service has always been top notch and I don't hesitate in recommending UUC to anyone.

Hell, most owners of the V1 do not even know or recognize there is an auto dimming feature!! I still think Sean wins the "Anal Award" since the BMW related illumination issues mentioned are more noticeable. Regards, Rich 95 M3 - Standard V1 PS - Proud to say I do not plan to win any "Anal Award". I am quite certain of my sexuality and I am a heterosexual thank you very much. Go ahead and comment JP. Please talk amongst yourselves.

#8. Work in Progress - from Wayne Miller

Date: Wed, 14 Feb 2001 13:34:06 -0500 From: "Wayne Miller" <m3@waynemiller.com> Subject: Work in Progress Yesterday, I started to second guess myself about putting in a 3.73 ring & pinion in with my 6 speed and I was worried about excessive RPM (more than stock) on the highway. I then put together a simple Excel spreadsheet that can calculate the speed in gears based on engine speed or the engine speed in each gear based on road speed. I have both the 5 speed and 6 speed along with 6 different ring & pinions for comparison. What I found was that even with the 3.73, I am better off than my stock setup before. If anyone wants me to E-mail them a copy of the spreadsheet, send me a private message. I just visited my car and the 5 speed is out and the new flywheel is in. It doesn't seem like all that big of a job to swap the transmissions. -Wayne '96? Ford Taurus rental until the M3 is done
