Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 09:35:06 -0500 From: "JUSTIN GERRY" <JGERRY@butchers.com> Subject: Re: City lights in Euro Headlights I asked the parts guy to look up city lights (Bosch or ZKE does not matter) for a 94 M3 Euro, once he found the P/N, then the bulb (5W), he said it was the same bulb as the small side blinker on the front fender. I don't think it was more than a $1 or so at the dealer with a discount. Not sure exactly because my dealer gave me a few of them free. -Justin -- '76 02 (Whimsical) '97 M3 (Orion) BMW CCA#77056 check out http://users.vei.net/jgerry

#4. [E36 M3] Rear Trail Arm bushings? - from William T. Wallace

Date: Fri, 13 Dec 2002 12:01:08 -0500 From: "William T. Wallace" <daddy30@earthlink.net> Subject: [E36 M3] Rear Trail Arm bushings? I have recently purchased a 95 M3. I have a two part question in regards to the rear trail arm bushings. The car has 85k on it how can I tell if I need to replace to rear trail arm bushings, or should I just do it anyway? Part two: It seems to be a pretty strait forward task but the Bentley calls for a special tool, is this a necessity or can I improvise? Thanks in Advance W. Wallace

Complete Euro M3 spec except the 3.8L M5 engine that is going in in a few weeks - hopefully it can outrun the shrapnel! I really just don't want the M stripes or badges on the car, probably more of a "clean look" deal than anything else. I hate to dye if I don't need to and it would be much cleaner without. Would someone with a set of Vaders look at the stripes and see if they are laid over the corner or stitched onto the face of the underlying leather? I don't have a set around in the shop. Thanks!
