I got floormats (on sale), 4 rotors, and a few misc. parts. . . shipping was $40, due to weight. Jeff > > > Who has the best price on floating rotors for E36 M3? > > Chris McCormick

I've heard that you have to get Euro connectors, and that adding H1 Plus bulbs makes them 10x better. Jay '95 M3 Date: Thu, 9 May 2002 07:00:10 -0700 (PDT) From: mkelley <mkelley@nc.rr.com> Subject: Euro Ellipsoid's by INPRO Anyone have any experience or informed opinions about the Ellipsoid headlight with Angel Eyes that are made by INPRO? These assemblies are starting to show up on eBay at very attractive prices ($359 buy-it-now) but the list has swayed to ZKW in the past for quality, aesthetics, availability of replacement glass covers, etc..

Have you spotted a puddle under the car after it sits a while?

On my '96 M3, a 16 mm six point socket will work, but it is extremely loose fitting. A 16 mm 12 point socket could round the bolt head off. However, its really a ~15.5 mm bolt head, but I wouldn't want to send some one out looking for six point socket in that size, thus my suggestion to use a 5/8" six point socket.
