Hmmm... quick (rhetorical) question regarding the list sticker: Would you really need to identify your car as an "E36 M3" or have a silhouette/picture of an an E36 M3 on the sticker when it would be (in most cases) on your own E36 M3... the ultimate reminder to yourself and others that, yes, you are driving an E36 M3? I don't know about you, but the only reason I would put this sticker on my car is to identify - on the road - myself and others affiliated with the list (and it's more exposure for the site). And hence, something small and fairly nondescript - or at least like it's supposed to be on the car ("factory-ish" I suppose).

A lot of people have given the SO-2s high marks for wet weather driving. The car came with Pilot MXX3s which made me park it whenever it even looked like rain. The Yokohama AVS Sports were a big improvement but still would hydroplane at normal highway speeds if I hit a puddle. I just had to keep the speed down when it was raining moderately. The Kuhmo ECSTA 712s aren't as good a dry tire but they would be my choice for a wet weather tire. They definitely don't hydroplane under the same conditions that the Yokohama's would. They're also about 1/2 the price of the SO-3's if that matters. - Bob -----Original Message----- From: Jamie Thomas [mailto:midpoint@mindspring.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 10:03 PM To: E36M3 Subject: [E36M3] Need vote on rain/all season tires Date: Tue, 23 Oct 2001 20:56:29 -0700 From: "Jamie Thomas" <midpoint@mindspring.com> Subject: Need vote on rain/all season tires OK folks, I have four choices for my new set of NON-TRACK tires and I am having a devil of a time deciding which would be best.

#13. Polishes and waxes - from Ed Tang
Top
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2001 10:40:28 -0700 (PDT) From: Ed Tang <etangf1@yahoo.com> Subject: Polishes and waxes Kit, You should try Meguire's Body Scrub. It is a LITTLE bit more abrasive than a polish, but it really works well with a very low speed orbital. If you got someone who keyed your car, like I did (death squad instincts take over), it takes it out. The key marks on my car weren't very deep at the two ends, however the middle is another story. If you're anal, then you use a polish as a finishing touch. The Meguire's Body Scrub is enough to remove swirl marks and industrial fallout. I follow that with 3M Hand Glaze. It's the professional line and is about $9 for roughly 5 applications. It's great on black cars. The shine is incredible. I use Mother's Carnauba in the big round tin b/c it's one of the easiest to use. It doesn't last too long but I haven't found a Carnauba based product that does. I've tried the synthetic polymer type polishes and waxes (sealant) and I don't particularly care for them. If you get anything out of this, I highly recommend the Meguire's Body Scrub and 3M Professional Hand Glaze for a black car. As always, YMMV.

The dirt I can live with, and when it's my own perspiration or car juices, no problem, but that's not my scent on there. ;) ;) Anyone no of a safe/proper way to wash nomex/leather gloves without ruining them? I called a Simpson rep and she said to wash, rinse and wring 'em while wearing them, then line dry. The line dry sounds pefrectly sensible, but has anyone just thrown these things in with a regular load, or do you have to do it with them on in order to maintain the shape?

#18. euro lights - post installation opinion - from Joseph Kannookadan
Top
Date: Wed, 24 Oct 2001 18:01:25 -0500 From: "Joseph Kannookadan" <joe.kannookadan@sourcelight.com> Subject: euro lights - post installation opinion I just installed my Euro lamps recently (ZKW's). I went with Andy Radin's advice and used my old 9005's and 9006's as adaptors for the Euros. That made the installation marginally harder as I don't have a Dremel tool and my soldering skills aren't pro level. Thanks for the part numbers/advice, and thanks to Powell and Bassett for the instructions. If anyone out there is still thinking about getting Euros or is currently installing them... - When people said they're bigger, they weren't kidding (they're heavier too). You don't have too much room to play with once they're in, especially in terms of height. Following Bentley's instructions, my right headlight ended up being slightly tilted forward. And being taller than the US headlight, it then pushed up the hood at that point, so I had to fudge a bit and tilt it back. - The glass eyeball (the projector lens) is cool looking... for those that are actually looking. - Has my lighting improved? I can't say that it has to any really noticeable (worthwhile) degree. I'll try higher wattage bulbs sometime soon. Maybe that'll change things further. But... I checked out Ed Tang's lights (HID), and they're phenomonal... BIG improvement! But that's another large chunk of change. IMHO: If you're going HID, then by all means, go for it. But your money may be spent better elsewhere if you're not. By the way, has anyone experimented with polishing their glass with with cerium oxide or something similar? It might be a good way to clean up your Euros. --- joe

I've been strictly adhering to the keep it fewer than 5.5k rpm and no full throttle during the break in period, so I can't give you a 100% for sure answer. My initial impressions is that the E46's throttle response, especially with Sport mode on, is much better then an E36 with MechTech kit (Mine also had an AA lightweight flywheel). Might be because it's a turbo or the fact that it relies on the Auxiliary Fuel Pressure Regulator. I honestly feel that the 0 - 60 and 1/4 miles times would be very close. I can't comment on a SC setup, but with MechTech kit is like going from no boost to full boost in less than a second, so the acceleration feeling is much greater. The E46 is much more linear, maybe more like a SC setup.

I want to do 225/40f, 255/35r to try to keep diamater as close to stock so I dont lose to much acceleration. I was speaking to someone who recommended I do a 235/40 front instead b/c front tires have NO effect on gearing and using a 235 will help cut down on understeer. Is this true?

Did you get the 'Type R' sticker in red? It would go well with my 'powered by Honda' sticker that I put ON MY LAWNMOWER! Ha! I agree with your other point as well, maybe that is why someone designed sticker #14?

Hmmm... quick (rhetorical) question regarding the list sticker: Would you really need to identify your car as an "E36 M3" or have a silhouette/picture of an an E36 M3 on the sticker when it would be (in most cases) on your own E36 M3... the ultimate reminder to yourself and others that, yes, you are driving an E36 M3? I don't know about you, but the only reason I would put this sticker on my car is to identify - on the road - myself and others affiliated with the list (and it's more exposure for the site). And hence, something small and fairly nondescript - or at least like it's supposed to be on the car ("factory-ish" I suppose). Something that would fit in the corner or along the bottom (ala www.dtmpower.net) of the rear window. Besides, some of these would really clash with my 'Type R' and 'Calvin pissing on Ford' stickers. Just kidding Mel :). --- joe -----Original Message----- From: Hank Wallace [mailto:hwallace@ebimmer.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 23, 2001 6:32 PM To: E36M3 Subject: RE: [E36M3] So, who wants to vote on a sticker?

The front end of that, without the splitter, looks like my E46. Argh!
