Yeah cheap camera but it was free :) Also if the tires are like mine they are from 1999. Have them load tested. One of mine failed and had to be sent back for replacement.

#2. Z3 parcel net install for M3 - from Mdriver13@aol.com

Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 00:36:54 EDT From: Mdriver13@aol.com Subject: Z3 parcel net install for M3 Has anyone installed the Z3 parcel net inside their M3? This fits on the passenger side tunnel, next to the console. I seem to recall either Ben Liaw or Ron Stigar with pictures of this. Before I do this seemingly simple install, is there anything to watch out for? Bob Gill 97 ///M3 coupe Philly Region SCCA AS Champion 1997 & 2000 #13 BSP 2001

#4. flywheel rattle - from Kit Wetzler
Top
Date: Tue, 19 Jun 2001 23:44:56 -0700 From: "Kit Wetzler" <kitwetzler@mindspring.com> Subject: flywheel rattle At the recommendation of Alan Taur, I replaced the tranny fluid in my 97 M3/4 with Redline 75w140 gear oil. I have a TC Kline lightweight flywheel and it's rattled especially with the AC on... and with it getting hotter, I've been using the AC more. Ugh. I replaced the Redline D4-ATF with the 75w140 gear oil and the noise is basically gone! I need to drive the car around for sure, but I certainly didn't hear it! whoo! I'm happy. I really think that Redline fluids tend to degrade over time... I suspect that my D4-ATF was pretty done (it has been in there 11 months and 23K miles...) But, the rattle is just about gone. :) Makes the whole car seem more... refined and nice. -kit 97 m3/4 that doesn't sound like a knocking 72 Plymouth anymore...

#5. Manufacture - from Mark Greene

Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 04:55:58 -0400 From: Mark Greene <gsa@arpinintl.com> Subject: Manufacture Hello: This may be off base, I am not 100% sure. I had a prob with my insurance yesterday and found out th 96 M3 I bought a couple of months ago only has liablility coverage on it. When I called, they said they were having probs cause the VIN was throwing some warnings.....i.e. this car was made and imported from Germany. At first I wanted to say duh? BMW but the insurance agent said that technically because of this it is a grey mkt car that may not have passed EPA, etc. I ran a few 96 VINs from Roundel on carfax and am using the VIN decoder as well which shows either Germany or SC for Manufacture, does this ring any bells with anyone? Thanks, Mark

I have a sound coming from what I *think* is the flywheel, but I'm not sure. Did you only change the tranny oil or also the diff oil? Another thing, you said you replaced ATF with non ATF oil. Aren't M3 transmissions to use ATF oil ONLY? If you dismount the transmission you'll notice a huge orange label on the side of the transmission saying that. Any input appreciated.

#10. [E36M3] Fire extinguisher mount - from Bob Larson
Top
Date: Wed, 20 Jun 2001 06:58:55 -0700 From: "Bob Larson" <asp9111@home.com> Subject: [E36M3] Fire extinguisher mount I'm doing a hillclimb where they require a min. 5BC on metal bracket. Any ideas on the easiest way to get a backet ? I don't have harness bar, or any other obvious place to put it. I found the factory below-the-seat-mount: on http://www.unofficialbmw.com//images/image158.htm But this seems more permanent and a chore to take the seat out and muck with the upolstery... I wonder if I take the glove box off, I might find somewhere to bolt a metal bracket...or ?? Bob Larson '97 M3/2
