Running 7.5 all around is for MY1995 only. If you want to have them all the same, you'll join us BSP guys ;-)) Certainly, run 8" wide or larger if you go this route. Others, may know the latest rule changes in case I'm wrong. Bob Gill 97 ///M3 coupe - running 8/17 SSR all around for autoxing Philly Region SCCA AS Champion 1997 & 2000 BSP Champion 2001

Date: Fri, 12 Apr 2002 17:49:38 +0000 From: "Mark Radelow" <radelow@hotmail.com> Subject: Re: [E36M3] Driving suits The difference is the quality of the material (Proban vs. Nomex vs. Nomex III) and construction. The more expensive suits will last longer, fit better, be more comfortable and be cooler. I have a Sparco Sponsor suit. In comparison the G-Force, Simpson, etc. suits are MUCH hotter and less comfortable (IMHO). The way I see it is, it's your life. Why mess with it. If the better suit offers 1-3 seconds more of time you won't burn that's worth it. As a counterpoint, many racers on the Grand-Am Circuit wear the cheaper suits...

Preece wrote: >PS - does it piss you guys off as much as me when you go to the dealer and >tell them what year and model of BMW that you have they ALWAYS ask "3.0 or >3.2 ltr." and "2 or 4 door"? aarrh!! Although this may seem like a silly question from the dealer (usually the parts department, right?), there's no reason to get pissed about it. This is the way the cars/parts are organized on the CD/computer system. If I wanted a part for my 98 M3 sedan, say a part that was the same for coupe & sedan, and started with just "98 M3" I would get asked "2 door or 4 door". Now, it doesn't matter, but in order to proceed any further in the parts lookup, he's gotta pick one. It's a tree structure: model, body type, then major part groups. Also, you & I may be M3 fanatics, and know all there is to know about the various production differences, but the parts guy (or gal) has the whole range to deal with, and frankly I don't expect them to know all the details about my model that I do. Instead of getting pissed, try to help them out and maybe teach them a little bit. They might actually be interested in learning from an enthusiast (there's been several times I've had the parts person swivel the computer screen around so we can locate the part together). My 2 cents, Jim Bassett
