Date: Wed, 07 Mar 2001 11:28:20 -0700 From: Jesse Caldwell <Jesse.Caldwell@Colorado.EDU> Subject: recently purchased '96 M3 hello all, i'm new to m3 ownership and, obviously, to the list. I purchased a '96 m3 (58K miles) in January and am taking it to a local dealership tomorrow for service. it's due for a level one inspection, and i'm going to ask that all belts be replaced and the brake fluid/coolant be flushed. i have *no* service history -- is there anything else i should have him look at? i'm not looking to empty my checkbook, but if there's anything that's important to look at when you have 60K miles on a car and no records, please clue me in. :) thanks!

Perhaps the original rebuttal was referring to the aluminum pedals being 1/4 shorter or narrower than the rubber covers that typically cover the stock pedals?

Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 10:38:21 -0800 From: "Dan Snyder" <m3ltw@msn.com> Subject: Re: CRM (was Five Figure Dan (was Roll bars)) I don't pretend to speak for TC, Will Turner, PTG, or anyone other than myself. I hope that was clear, but it probably wasn't, based on AJ's reply. Sorry to all concerned. I was just pointing out that not all businesses cater to all potential customers, and "speculating" that TC's is very possibly one of those. Just as PTG's main customer is BMWUSA, and a few people willing to buy very expensive parts/cars. The usual "signal" given to us is HIGH prices (like PTG's original price on LTW splitters, oil pans, springs...pretty much everything (can you say $10,000 cage?)). (sorry, this is the only real BMW content) There are a lot of CRM products/companies (customer relationship management) out there, but the real benefit they derive is not from giving better service to all customers (although they may), but making sure that the best (most profitable) customers are identified at every point of contact. (ever notice how "special" customers just happen to have the proprietor's home/cell/pager number, but the rest of use never do?) Of course, many businesses (and people) try to please everyone all of the time, which usually means that none are happy. Amazing how Jim C. determined that trying to appease the retail crowd took all his time, so instead he now works (apparently, since I don't know him) through retailers like Eurosport/Turner/etc. who field all the calls and answer most questions. Many of us lost his wisdom, but he stopped getting overwhelmed by questions/criticisms, to better focus on his real job (which probably isn't even making chips). It's just more efficient that way. Perhaps (again, Dan's own thoughts) if TC hired a receptionist/assistant to answer his phones and reply to our emails, the marginal extra business would pay for cost (maybe a million in gross to cover the net with some profit left?), but likely not. Perhaps his advertising should be clearer. I don't know, because I don't face the very difficult questions he does when running a business (and trying to win races against teams funded by $billion companies). Buy from whoever you want, just don't start a tirade against someone just because they don't answer the phone. It isn't personal, it's just business. Sometimes it's bad business, but it might just not be our business. Dan PS: Personally, it too drives me nuts when I can't get through to people like TC, Will Turner, or Leo Franchi. Unfortunately, I learned with the lightweight that I can't afford to remain a "high value" customer to these guys for long and still pay the rent. My budget for the 325 race car for 2 years is still under five figures (including tires, gas, brakes, etc)! ----- Original Message ----- From: "DiVincenti, A.J." <ADiVin@lsuhsc.edu> Subject: Five Figure Dan > Good, I'm glad you have your flame suit on.

I believe this data is shared among the dealers since my first service at Life Quality BMW (Yuk...don't ever go there for service) popped up while I was at Wide World of Cars. So...you might be able to see what else went on in the past.

With some prodding, your dealer should be able to pull the record of past maintenance on your car and give it to you. With that you should be able to decide what you want done to your car when. Normally, you would not be flushing coolant or brake fluid at Inspection I if that had been done at the previous Inspection II (along with spark plugs, filters, 3 oils and some other things I am forgetting at this time). alex

#6. Ground Control Customer Demographics - from TFRM3@aol.com

Date: Wed, 7 Mar 2001 13:51:28 EST From: TFRM3@aol.com Subject: Ground Control Customer Demographics "I guess I'll buy my coilovers from Ground Control since they don't cater to hard-core racers" I sort of have to stick up for Ground Control here, at the risk of losing a sale. There are many, many Pro Racers who use our services and buy parts and complete suspensions from us. Most of the time we are asked to keep our mouths shut, and I also do not have an infatuation with placing a Ground Control sticker on every car that rolls through here. As far as the last weekends ALMS/ World Challenge results go, without naming names, we had some part or another on 20 out of 30 finishers in Touring, and had parts on 5 podium finishers, including winners, and hardly any stickers. After spending two years Pro Racing (in Firehawk), I decided it was too hard to properly run a business also. T.C. has decided to keep at it, and more power to him, but I'll just watch Speedvision with my kids. Regarding service to Amateur Racers etc? It is just a lot of work, and whoever mentioned people (can't really call them prospective customers) calling around for a race setup, and then trying to find the parts cheaper somewhere is absolutely right on the money. It can very frustrating trying to politely answer questions from someone who is just trying to figure out which Koni you like to use and then call shox.com and order from a moron. So, thanks to all you loyal customers from Jim Leithauser (T.C. loyalist) and myself.

Buy two of them, as there are two per window, and you should replace both while you're in there. Take the door panel off, and it should be very obvious. the new sliders pop onto two metal arms. The old broken one will fall right off. 30 minute job, including taking the door panel off and on (Bentley has a good write up of the panel removal) Good luck Rob Norwalk Raytheon ID Systems Fort Wayne, IN Tel: 219.429.4737 Fax: 219.429.5004

"Vibration" Hi Group, Well, I think I answered my own question and I'd thought I pass on the information. For those that remember, I had a low freq imbalance while slowing accelerating at low rpms in 1st. I was cruising Richard Nott's database (great!) and found this post by Jim Conforti regarding his replacement of the stock flywheel with an Al one: "I do know its a definite, feelable improvement over that dual-mass chunk of lead they call an OEM flywheel.. also, *most* of the hammering noise is gone.. those with M3's might note the clunk-a-clunk-a-clunk you get at low speeds and near closed throttle.. Its almost GONE with the lightened flywheel.. I think it was caused by rear suspension flex being translated thru the diff and down the shaft to the dual masses.. after THREE dual-mass flywheels I can tell you that it's NOT a "bad" flywheel.. they are ALL BAD and are not calibrated for that Motor/Drivetrain... " I don't want to speak for Jim and wish I could ask him, but I'm fairly certain this is what I'm feeling. No more small throttle openings for me! Thanks!

Even if he charged $400 per hour labor > rate, it would not take 1/4 hour to install a battery. I had a similar OE battery experience with a local dealer. The battery died 28 months after purchase on my wife's car. The car got towed to the dealer under free roadside assistance only to discover that the BMW warranty covers the battery only for 24 months. At first I was quoted $280 for parts ($135) and labor (the rest). At $75/hour labor rate, that would have been 2 hours to install the battery. After my protest, they dropped the price at first to 1 hour of labor ($210), then to 1/2 hour ($170 total). I went out and bought an Optima ($125) installed it myself in 10 minutes with trunk kit tools. Moral of the story: it doesn't hurt to haggle on the dealer quote if you think it's too high. alex

Yup...most good aftermarket pedal covers require drilling. > Is drilling through the pedals difficult in any way? Looks straight foward. > I assume I need a special bit to go through the metal? The gas and clutch pedal are a breeze as they're made out of plastic. The brake pedal...well, that's a bit more tough. What I learned while installing mine: a) Either be very careful while drilling through the metal brake pedal if you're leaving the aluminum cover between the pedal and the drill or b) scratch where you should drill the holes and drill all holes and then install. I found out the hard way on option (a) (lying on the floor with your head in the foot well is no fun and I got lazy)....as soon as the drill bit broke through the metal....whammo...hit and scratch the cover!! DOH! Of course, I wasn't probably using a metal bit nor was it sharp...so I was sitting there with a 1/2" drill (only on I have) giving it my all. What's that phrase? Right tool for the job? DOH!...
