#2. E46 M3 oil cooler - from Robert S. Hatrak II

Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 15:06:32 -0700 From: "Robert S. Hatrak II" <rshatrakii@earthlink.net> Subject: E46 M3 oil cooler I think I fell asleep at the wheel for a little bit and missed some good information. Was there recently a thread about fitting the E46 M3 oil cooler to the E36 M3? I've searched and searched and am not coming up with anything. If someone kept those digests/posts, would you mind forwarding them to me? Thanks, Rob 95 M3

#3. What the heck...? - from Juan Rico

Date: Tue, 27 May 2003 15:17:27 -0700 From: Juan Rico <juan_rico@captionsinc.com> Subject: What the heck...? Yesterday on my way to the airport my ABS light comes on, my car's RPM's go wild a couple of times, but otherwise the car is running fine. Park the car at the airport and when I go to start it, it's completely dead-no service lights, no click, nothing, nada. Get a jump start, drive home, ABS light still on, park it. Turn the key again and nada. Completely dead. The battery was replaced a year ago. The light indicator on the battery still shows a healthy green. Anybody else had this happen? Any ideas? Is this the alternator? Would the car run though if the alternator was bad? I'm hoping this is not a DME issue otherwise I'm fu#@#$%... I'm thinking the ABS light is just an electric glitch, since my ABS seemed to be working fine... ;) After spending 5K so far this year on the car, I'm on the verge of leasing a Z06. I've had it with this damn car. Engine, transmission and differential are impeccable. Everything else is falling to pieces or slowly failing... Juan.

Try to get one from the dealer - NOT an after market source! Then before you leave or pay for it, push the little red button. If it clicks - reject it! Then it is one of the no-good ones. This is one item worth paying the extra dealer-money for. Use your BMW CCA membership card and get the discount. The least expensive place currently is Pacific BMW in Glendale, CA. Check their ad in the Roundel. Good Luck, Leif

I'm interested in feedback from you 91 Octane, MTBE, PG&E/Enron subsidizing, consumers out there as to whether the change was a benefit or detriment to the car for road driving and track driving with normal (non-race) gas. I'm interested in getting the software if it gives a noticeable increase in power, I'm not interested if it makes the car ping. Your tales and lore on the subject appreciated. Vielen dank. mark.
