I filled up yesterday (took over 15 gallons so I'm sure it was full) and the gas gauge is sitting somewhere between 1/2 and 3/4. The OBC tells me I have about 120 miles to empty. I topped it off this morning just to make sure it was full and it was. Has anyone had a similar problem? Thoughts or ideas? It's still under CPO warranty so hopefully it will only cost me an arm and not the leg too.

#5. [E36M3] Suit Sizing? - from twisty M3
Top
Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 09:16:01 -0700 From: "twisty M3" <twistym3@hotmail.com> Subject: [E36M3] Suit Sizing? To those of you with racing suits, have you been able to just purchase them "off the rack" and had good luck with sizing? Not sure how much it is to get them custom fit, but I've heard rumors of *double* the price. Yikes! I'm worried I may have to do that, as the sizing charts are really whacky! For my waist size, I should apparently weight 50 pounds less than I do, or if I go by chest sizing, I'd need to add *8 inches* to my waist. While that sounds like a fun experiment, I don't think it's very feasible. Is it safe to assume you can just go by the chest measurements, etc, and have a "roomy" mid section on the suit? Any guidelines as far as certain manufacturers suits running bigger or smaller than others?

#6. RE: BMW CCA Racing - from Bob Stommel

Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 11:31:08 -0500 From: Bob Stommel <rstommel@iquest.net> Subject: RE: BMW CCA Racing Stan: I was the North Central CRAC rep for BMW CCA Club Racing last year. We seem to be getting more 96+ M3s in HS recently. There are usually 3-4 of them on average at the Midwest races and I know of more rookies coming on line with them this year. I think you'll see more of them in the next few years. On the other hand, if you want to race an E36 M3 in Stock class in club racing, the best choice is a 95 without a sunroof. All the 96 models came standard with a sunroof, which adds about 30 lbs of weight to the roof of the car -- not a good location for weight. In addition, the extra bottom end torque in the 96+ motors doesn't do much for you in racing where you are rarely below 4500 rpm.

(I started with PCA Club Racing last year). I am curious, is there much a showing in HS for the '96+ M3s? I figured with all the M3s built with the 3.2ltrs, there might start to be a influx, but whenever I look, it seems like there are plenty of IS '95s, but few HS '96+. Thanks!

Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 12:32:05 -0400 From: <Stan.Shaw@Excell.Net> Subject: Re: BMW CCA Racing Bob, Thanks.....but my story is probably like one you have heard many times....I own the '96+ car and have made some improvements (all should still be stock legal, except perhaps the JTD underpanel). I suppose if at the time I was ready to make the transition, I could trade mine for an equally setup '95 that would be of interest, but that is unlikely to be the case. I already race a 928 in GT2S, so am quickly becoming accustomed to going about doing things the "wrong way".... Of course I still have thoughts of getting into some type of "spec" racing.....maybe Formula Fords... (Skip Barber School was really fun in those oversized gocarts!) Thanks!

#11. JTD Underpanel Install Question - from Michael Maigret x2196
Top
Date: Tue, 11 Jun 2002 10:01:49 -0700 (PDT) From: "Michael Maigret x2196" <studmuffin@galaxy.nsc.com> Subject: JTD Underpanel Install Question I am planning on purchasing the JTD underpanel. Currently, the center underpanel on my 98 M3 is missing, but both of the pork chops are still there. Other than removing the pork chops, is there anything else I need to do to prepare for the JTD installation? The main reason I'm asking is because in the pictures I've seen of the underpanel installed there appears to be screws holding the underpanel in place-- however, I can't figure out what the screws are screwed into? On my car there is pretty much just a void where the factory underpanel used to be... If there's an OEM part that I need could someone supply the part number/description? Thanks, Michael Maigret 1998 Titan Silber M3/4 BMWCCA #277854
