Notice the headlights are the same. So, does this person own 2 of them? I suspect that his name is Dan, last name begins with a K. Wonder what they want 1 mill, 1.5 mill.... Marc 95M3

I need an air injection tube for an obd-II 3.2l m3 Hello- discovered that putting 3.2l headers on an obd-1 car causes massive amounts of exhaust noise and gas to come out of the air injection ports. I need an air injection pipe (the one that bolts onto the headers) very urgently, help me get my buddy's car out of my garage! please! :) hopefully one of you got these with a 3.2l swap. Will pay up to $50 for this little part or trade for... a passenger side ZKW or something like that. I'll have a write up on putting 3.2l headers on a 3.0l car soon. Lots of things you need to be aware of. Also, I have a set of Supersprint headers for sale. Bay area buyers only, as these are a bear to ship. I have a set of cut 95 cats that allow them to totally bolt up to a 95 m3. The cut cats will bolt up to a 96+ car too, but require 02 sims (which I have.) $750 with cut cats, + $50 for o2 sims. -kit 97 3.2l car

#6. Fault Code Readers: BMW Specific? - from twisty M3
Top
Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 09:46:39 -0700 From: "twisty M3" <twistym3@hotmail.com> Subject: Fault Code Readers: BMW Specific? My Check Engine light just came on yesterday morning and I'm hoping it's just a loose gas cap or something. I have to head to Vegas for the BMW CCA event on Friday, however, so I don't want to take any risks. The closest independant BMW mech. that I know of is almost 50 miles away, but I could essentially make a detour by his shop as I leave town on Fri. (local dealer needs me to set an appt AND leave my car for a full day just to have the fault code read??). Are the OBDII fault code readers BMW specific, or could I just find any ol' mechanic and have him plug into my diagnostic port? Also, is anyone who's headed to the Vegas school possibly brining a fault code reader?? ;) Jonathan L. _________________________________________________________________ Protect your PC - get McAfee.com VirusScan Online http://clinic.mcafee.com/clinic/ibuy/campaign.asp?cid=3963

I need an air injection tube for an obd-II 3.2l m3 Or I could weld them shut myself. :) I've had the headers on and off 3 times already and would really rather not do it again. I made some shims to fit underneath the air injection tube flanges, and figured that was easier than welding it up. -kit

#8. M3 vs 330Ci - from Darling Christopher O Maj ACSC Student AY03
Top
Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 12:09:11 -0500 From: Darling Christopher O Maj ACSC Student AY03 <Christopher.Darling@MAXWELL.AF.MIL> Subject: M3 vs 330Ci So while my '95 M3 is in for service, the dealer gave me a brand-new, 3000-mile 330Ci on loan. Naturally, I am compelled to compare the two.... Baseline: The loaner car has an automatic tranny, and tires are 225/40 in front and 255/35 in back. Biggest impression with the 330 is a sense of an enormous bushing between my butt and the road. Car feels much more isolated than my M3--some would describe it as "numb". NVH control is much improved, but at the expense of the "connectedness" with the pavement I get with my M3. The car is VERY quiet. Power is good, and it feels like the gearing is lower. However, it seems to run out of breath at higher RPMs, and it doesn't have the power reserve of the M3. Don't like the power seats--can't find a comfortable position, and my head wants to bump the roof if I don't recline back like a high-schooler with baggy jeans. The Harmon-Kardon stereo really does blow--I guess all those complaints I heard were true. The switchgear (e.g. turn signal stalk) is excellent. Biggest gripe: throttle. I wonder if this car has the "electronic fly-by-wire-throttle" people have spoken about. I can't stand it. It drives like my previous Silverado pickup with the sticky throttle butterfly. Gas is either "on" or "off". Very difficult to modulate when leaving a stop sign. Maybe I'll get used to it with more seat time, but for me it's difficult to drive smoothly. Bottom line: this is a very nice car. However, it's not nearly good enough to tempt me to exchange my car for it, even though they supposedly "have the same engine" (according to the dealer.) You'll pry my M3 keys out of my cold, dead fingers--and not before. I've owned my baby for nearly nine years now, and I'm more convinced than ever that I'll never sell it! Cheers, Chris "Cod" Darling

#9. Results for PF90s in the rain, S-O3s at Summit - from David Ngo

Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 10:35:43 -0700 (PDT) From: David Ngo <rudngo@yahoo.com> Subject: Results for PF90s in the rain, S-O3s at Summit Hi, First, I'd like to say thanks for everyone who responded with their suggestions on pads and pressures. Everything worked out great - Saturday it poured in the morning, which forced me to slow down and really concentrate on the line at Jefferson. Saturday (last session), Sunday, and Monday were dry, so things got a lot more interesting. The dust from the PF90s was not difficult to get off the wheels at all, even after having the dust get (very) wet and going through another day at Jefferson in the dry without washing the wheels. There are some spots where the dust was a little more stubborn, but they should come out easily. I ran the S-O3s at about 37 front, 34 rear cold. The rollover was perfect and I got fairly even temps across the tread (though the inside edge was a bit hotter because of the -2 deg. of camber on my car.) They were decent in the rain, really nice on the skidpad too. Though this was my first school, I can see plenty of them in the future for me! I got hung up in traffic a lot, but most people were very good about pointing me by so that was fine. Both of my instructors recommended that I be moved up to the intermediate run group, so that shouldn't be so much of a problem next time. The school was run very, very smoothly. There was one big OTE where a J stock E30M3 went into the tire wall at turn 1 on Jefferson in the wet and a 944 turbo went off in turn 10 on Summit. Otherwise, the school was incident-free for the most part. Dave <-- Autocross junky making the track rat transition __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo! Search - Faster.
