Hey, gang, there are four I-Stock '95 M3's entered in this weekend's CCA Club Race at the Glen, and all of them (including mine) are piloted by rookies! This should be a blast. I'm glad some others have stepped up to the plate, too. Rest assured that the yellow one will be sporting one of Triode Girl's new list stickers! Dave Hogg IS Rookie #120

Slight clarification. With a constant pressure it does not hit the floor, but if I continue to push (increase pressure) it will bottom out. This only happens at idle. Dynamic braking seems unaffected, only slow pedal movement/pressure seems funny. Jeremy 95 M3

#7. Catastrophic Engine Failure - from M-Power
Top
Date: Tue, 4 Jun 2002 21:17:39 -0500 From: "M-Power" <M-Power@austin.rr.com> Subject: Catastrophic Engine Failure Memorial Day Weekend I had a catastrophic loss of oil pressure that completely destroyed the engine in my 1999 M3 with only 57K-58K miles. BMW has refused to be any help with this design flaw! I have to replace the engine! The nut that holds the gear to the oil pump came off. This caused the gear to come off; therefore there was a complete loss of oil pressure. This is a design flaw that all of you need to be aware of! The nut does NOT have anything to stop it from coming loose and falling off. The nut needs to be torqued correctly, lock tight applied and safety wire attached. This is a more common failure than most people or BMW are willing to admit. Every engine tuner I have talked with knows of this problem and builds their engines accordingly. Bobby Archer who has my car in Fort Worth, diagnosed the problem at the track before he tore the engine apart at his shop last week. He had already seen several of these failures. He was also telling me that all of the M3s that originally failed in the Speedvision Challenge Series were due to this failure. This failure has nothing to do with taking your car to the track. There have been many instances of cars that have had this failure and never taken their cars to the track.

Do you know if it will work with an M3 and how it would hook-up? If I had this installed on my M3, the failure of the oil pump Memorial Day Weekend would not have destroyed my engine!
