We sell Stack which is a great product used by a lot of the professional teams. Motec is another option, but more expensive and I think better used when you intend to tie in engine management which is their forte. More info on Stack is on our website at http://www.bimmerworld.com/catalog/gauges.htm, as well as a link to their site that explains its actual use. I came across another product a couple of years ago when I was doing research on brands to carry. This one looks like it might be the cheap solution, but I have never used one.

#3. [E36 M3] MAF's & HFM's - from William T. Wallace

Date: Sat, 23 Nov 2002 15:06:15 -0500 From: "William T. Wallace" <daddy30@earthlink.net> Subject: [E36 M3] MAF's & HFM's First off, greetings to all. I am the proud new owner of my dream car a 1995 Cosmos Black M3. I have a quick question. I have an opportunity to get my hands on what I think is a Euro 3.2l MAF. If I do a direct swap of my MAF with the 3.2l Euro version Part# 13 62 1 403 123 will I see any gain without the OBC being remapped? Next question am I correct in assuming that part# 13 62 1 403 123 is a Euro MAF? P.S. MAF and HFM are the same right? W. Wallace '95 M3 '00 528i

#5. Yoko AVS Intermediates? - from Mo Karamat

I am catching up on my e-mails, so I am not sure if anyone has responded to your question about the yokos. I have them on a set of M contours as my autox / track tires. I think they are excellent tires. From what I understand, after they are broken in a bit, the grip becomes even better. I do not think that they have a very high wear rating. They are not great in the rain. I am using them in a 235 40 17, on the stock staggered rims. hope this helps Mo

I believe the tire is unused, it has 10/32+" of tread, and the thin tendrils (is there a proper name for these?) on the sidewall have not worn away, nor do they show any wear. Price: $125+ ship. I'm in the Bay area, so could easily do local, or could ship with UPS for $10-$15. Murray mroblin@att.net

Date: Sun, 24 Nov 2002 23:21:10 -0800 From: Kit Wetzler <kitwetzler@mindspring.com> Subject: Daaaaaah stupid car (thumping problem) *sigh* Ok, I did a track day on the M3 today, and had a great time. It's still very fast even without the supercharger. (did some 2:13s at thunderhill on street tires today, but it was cold etc) anyway. I have two issues now. First is a thumping on deceleration. It doesn't do it when you are accelerating but if I let off the gas, I get a thumping from directly underneath the car. Suspect the flex disk/guibo. Any thoughts? Guibo had a few small tears in it last time I checked, I guess the supercharger took it's toll. (car has 111K on it now) The second issue is a vibration. The wheels shimmy when I turn but after I straighten the wheel for a bit (like on a freeway) the vibration pretty much goes away. It's still there a bit, but mostly goes away. This one worries me more. Tie rods? Ball joints? Wheel bearings? I did the wheel bearings maybe 30K ago, but haven't done the tie rods or ball joints. *sigh* stupid car. -kit, whose car is eating him alive with $50 here, $200 there

One of my front shock mounts/hats has a crack in it and I think I need to replace it before next weekend's event @ TWS. The question is whether I should just get the replacements from the stealer and leave my alignment as is or get some aftermarket camber plates now? I'm running Ground Controls Track/School Coilovers with the shock mounts/hats swapped. TIA, - Jim Hagerman ///M_Power M-Power@austin.rr.com

Hudson" <jwhud@cdsnet.net> Subject: Re: [E36M3] Daaaaaah stupid car (thumping problem) As far as the vibration goes, I'd suspect the ball joints or the LCA bushings. I had a similar shudder that would come and go. I always thought it was a wheel balance issue. Recently had the LCAs replaced and now it's gone. The ball joints come with new LCAs as part of the assy. The bushings are fairly easy to replace, compared to the RTABs. I was scheduled for T-hill on Sat, but couldn't make it.

#10. Engine lifting attachment points - from Jamie Howton
Top
Date: Mon, 25 Nov 2002 08:21:43 -0600 From: "Jamie Howton" <jhowton@fotofab.com> Subject: Engine lifting attachment points Hi all, I am preparing to remove the transmission on my 95 M3 M/T, I have removed the exhaust and driveshaft and am now at the point where I need to suspend my engine so I can tilt it down in the back. The Bentley shows the engine support stand attaching to something that appears to be on the top of the engine toward the rear. The only lift point that I have been able to identify is at the front of the engine by the thermostat housing. Is there something underneath the intake or the fuel injector rail? Or do I just wrap a chain/strap around the engine and use that? From the picture in Bentley it almost appears that they are lifting the engine by the injector rail, even I am not stupid enough to try that.

Sounds a lot like what I had, went away when I got those changed just recently. There was also some vibration on braking, gone as well. Hope that helps, Andrej '97 M3
