Doesn't sound fun to me. A battery charger is a relatively inexpensive thing to pick up (got mine at Sears) and could come in handy in the future anyway. If you don't have one, and don't want to buy one, but live in SoCal, you're welcome to borrow mine if you're within a respectable distance of Ventura (or going to Fontana this weekend).

Underdrive pulleys do not in anyway affect the oil pump nut. The underdrive pulleys work on the accessories (whether it be crank mounted UDP or accesory mounted UDPs). The oil pump is driven off of a chain from within the engine. The real question is if the oil pump nut was torqued correctly at the factory or not. Some have suggested that spinning the car turns the engine backwards and this would be a cause. Dunno...but I'll be seeing how difficult it is to get at the oil pump to check. About safety wiring it, I don't know about you, but I for sure will not be drilling a hole anywhere.. Red loctite 272 seems to be the ticket.

Motor was (is?) stock, except for cams. No underdrive pulleys. The motor was overrevved last Nov, which may have contributed to the loosening of the nut <shrug>. I personally know of 2 other cars that this has happened to - an E46 330 race car, and an E46 330 street/track car. If you do (did?) none of the following, this may not be too big of a deal. If ANY of these apply, check your nut <g>: - Track and/or race the car. - Car has been overreved. - Motor has been spun backwards (i.e. spun the car and failed to put the clutch in). BMW CCA Club Racing deemed this serious enough to issue a tech bulletin on this. Jim Bassett 1998 M3/4 1993 325is #44 KP - in the process of being rebuilt

I paid an extra $150 plus shipping for the "updated CAI software" when I bought my Conforti intake (was already sharked - back in the day when you had to pull the DME). Does anyone know if you can get an injector for less then $400 if you already paid $400 + 150 for the software. I asked when they first came out and I was told no. The reasoning was literally "something to do with who they sourced the hardware from" - very vague.
