Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 08:50:51 US/Pacific From: peter@guagenti.com Subject: Interstate Battery #? Anyone know the number for the interstate battery that is a replacement for the E36? I had been using a DieHard in my wife's 328i, and it has had a hard time keeping it's charge with her short commute. I replaced it with an Interstate, but I think it's the wrong size (it's smaller than the factory one in my M3). Either way, it doesn't want to keep a charge either. Any help is appreciated. -peterg ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------- This message was sent using HiSpeed Technologies Webmail. http://www.hispeed.com ************************************************************* List Commands UNSUBSCRIBE - (in subject line) unsubscribes you from the mailing list.

I've never been notified of either recall = (What is MRS?). =20 =20 Could this be because I have a very late '99, or is there some other problem? =20 Patrick Dargan =20 =20 =20

Surely there must be a mechanical check that can be made on the cams directly. If this "TSB" does, in fact, exist then it must provide a means of inspection.... Roger RogRacer@aol.com '95 M3

The power seats _alone_ in that car are huge power drain for such a wimpy battery. I think the leak is a power-hungry aftermarket alarm, but I don't really know how to go about diagnosing the definite draw as opposed to simply replacing the alarm. -p

Date: Thu, 29 Nov 2001 21:05:53 -0800 From: "Chris Teague" <cteague@home.com> Subject: Re: [E36M3] Koni Settings Since I used my 97 4 door for both street driving, and SCCA AS, I set the rears to full stiff to minimimize the understeer. The fronts I set 1/2 turn up from soft. It didn't ride horrible, but if it was only a street car, I would set the rears to 1 or 1.5 turns up from soft. It really depends on your springs and driving style. I think you will get a lot of different answers. If you only use street tires, you probably don't want to go as stiff as I did. (I use the DA's now).
