Is there a convention to the numbers to right/left for ALL numbers? Anyone have a left (driver side) E36 window lift motor they would want to part with? Thanks.. Tom Melton 95 M3 Thanks for the response Jim. I swapped the switches before heading home from work (talk about easy), but the problem persists. Window is still completely dead in its tracks (ha!).

Hmm, not sure, but it's easy to check the switches. Lift up the shift boot and pop the switches out from underneath. Swap 'em and see if the problem follows the switch. Jim Bassett

A BMW master tech once was looking over the Euro oil cooler setup (was on my Euro-motor'd car). He thought the most inexpensive alternative (without touching the stock US radiator) would be to use the cooler from an automatic transmission. They can be had relatively cheaply (or nearly free from a junkyard), and mount simply in front of the main radiator using stock hardware. I don't know if it would really work, and would cause some degradation in radiator efficiency, but since BMW uses this method already, I assume it is tolerable. Dan S.

Is there a diagnosis procedure in the Bentley (not here with me at work) or some sound I should hear or ? I want to ensure that mine is working correctly and wondered what the signs were of one that isn't working correctly. Cheers, Kirk

I was in a hurry getting ready for a race and didn't measure the thickness of a new set of floating rotors prior to my race. I'm running new Hawk pads and wanted to see how the rotor wear was so I need the thickness of a new rotor. Anyone have it? Thanks, Kirk Lachman Sin City Chapter '95 M3 #21 I-stock
