It must be followed up with a good wax, as your paint is nekkid after the glaze; and 2. The elimination of fine surface swirls is achieved by the fill properties of the glaze, and accordingly reapplication several times a year is needed. I've been using this stuff since 1996, and on three consecutive black cars. Jeff Abel 97 M3/4

After doing my stereo install writeup, I received an e-mail from someone who stated that metal terminal crimped connections should not be soldered. The solder stiffens the crimp and ultimately weakens the crimp. Of course, when I first did my euro light install, I didn't have a proper crimper, but now that I do, I don't even think about soldering the crimps.

#5. Cautionary tale - from D L Seeley
Top
Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 19:42:08 -0800 From: D L Seeley <dlseeley@earthlink.net> Subject: Cautionary tale So I had about $1200 worth of stuff to do on the race car, and said, "I'll wait until next month to put a new radiator on the E36...I don't see any leaking around that plastic neck..." Yep - this morning, pulling into the parking lot at work... Fortunately I've got about 8kmi left on the Warranty Gold policy. If you don't, replace the radiator now! (Yes, I did the water pump in time) What I figure happened: I drove Guido to work last Saturday. I worked on Guido Sunday afternoon. I drove Guido to the Ultimate Drive on Tuesday. I spent all day Wednesday with Guido at the shop. The jealous E36 is saying, "Fine, bitch, now see how you like commuting in a race car or a truck!" <G> Donna ------- 88 M3, "Guido," #41 JP, ready for Laguna this weekend 95 M3, "Ned", super-commuter, carted away on a flatbed

I think that the tweet and midrange of the front Left/driver's side were switched relative to the schematic. The Right side was correct and the bass were correct. I followed the connectors, not the colors. I also have an 04/94. -Matt Long live 4/94 M3's!!! --- Daniel <m3_driver@yahoo.com> wrote: > Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 19:48:32 -0700 (PDT) > From: Daniel <m3_driver@yahoo.com> > Subject: '95 Stereo Wiring Question > > Anybody out there with a wiring diagram for the > speakers on a 1995 (4/94 prod) M3? > I spliced into the front speaker wires and I get the > bass and mid range...but no tweeter? > > Dan > > > __________________________________________________ > Do You Yahoo!? > Make a great connection at Yahoo!

#8. Stickers - from Chris

Date: Thu, 25 Oct 2001 21:00:40 -0700 From: "Chris" <ccurry@curry.org> Subject: Stickers Ok, heh, it looks like you can take my #'s off, that would be 9-12. Apparently nobody, likes them, doh! I could see how I would rather have them as a website logo or something than on my car, keep it simple... oh well. Thanks, Chris Ooh and BTW, I just got my black '95 M3/2 back from the shop... it is so beautiful. Feels, drives, and looks like a brand new car. Of course, it was already in very good condition, but I had some door dings pulled out, a couple areas repainted, new windshield, stock rear wing added, new headlight covers, and I changed out the wheels to M-Contours. I'll probably get some pictures up over the weekend.
