#1. Schroth harness group buy, take 2 - from DocWyte
Top
Date: Tue, 13 May 2003 12:15:18 -0700 (PDT) From: DocWyte <josh_wyte@yahoo.com> Subject: Schroth harness group buy, take 2 Guys, Thought you'd like to know that I'm organizing another group buy on the clip in, clip out schroth harnesses. Details are on the group buys section of bimmerforums. Here's a synopsis tho. These are the new clip in style harnesses. Literally a 10 minute initial installation (at least in my '95 M3) and then the harnesses are a 30 second install/removal. They retail for $229 each. Group pricing is $185 each. They're available in red or black. Shoulder pads are $27 each, grip kits are $9 each. Shipping and handling will be around $10-15 depending on how much you order and where you are. California residents will have to add 7.25% sales tax. Please drop me an email if you'd like to order a set. Thanks! -josh ===== __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!

I suspect BMW contracted with an outside company rather than making them on their own. Along similar lines, who makes the stock brake rotors and pads for the E36 M3 ? Thanks for any insight.
